What is Repair recurrent incarcerated Inguinal hernia with mesh?

Repair recurrent incarcerated inguinal hernia with mesh is a surgical procedure to repair a recurrent inguinal hernia, which is a weakness in the abdominal wall that allows part of the intestine to protrude through. The procedure involves using a piece of mesh to reinforce the weakened area and prevent the hernia from recurring.

Steps involved in the procedure:

1. Initial preparation: The patient is given general anesthesia and the surgical site is cleaned and sterilized.

2. Incision: The surgeon makes an incision in the groin area, over the location of the hernia.

3. Identification of the hernia: The surgeon carefully identifies the herniated portion of the intestine and gently reduces it back into the abdomen.

4. Placement of the mesh: A piece of surgical mesh is then placed over the weakened area of the abdominal wall. The mesh is typically secured in place with sutures or tissue glue.

5. Closure of the incision: The incision is then closed with sutures or surgical staples.

6. Post-operative care: After the procedure, the patient may experience some pain and discomfort. They may be required to stay in the hospital for a few days for monitoring and pain management. They will also need to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for several weeks to allow the surgical site to heal properly.
