Open Repair of Complex Incisional Hernias in NYC
What Is Open Repair of a Complex Incisional Hernia?
Incisional hernias occur in the abdominal wall after a surgical operation in the same location, where the area has become weakened by the prior incision. In some cases, an incisional hernia can come back even after one or multiple incisional hernia treatments, making the treatment more complex in nature. In other cases, a patient’s incisional hernia may be considered complex due to the size or location of the hernia itself. In either case, these types of complex incisional hernias may require open surgery to help restore core strength and achieve a better cosmetic result.
What Can Complex Incisional Hernia Repair Fix?
Complex incisional hernia repair is used to fix an incisional hernia that is recurrent or complex. When a hernia returns, the chances of a successful repair go down, and the chance of the hernia recurring again goes up. If you have had a hernia return one or more times, it may warrant complex incisional hernia surgery with Dr. Reiner.
The Complex Incisional Hernia Repair Procedure
The specific techniques used for your complex incisional hernia surgery may vary depending on the specific problem you are experiencing and your personal needs.
In general, patients will be put under an anesthetic and undergo open surgery. This means your doctor will make an incision in your abdomen through which the operation is done. The incision is much larger than used in laparoscopic or robotic hernia surgery. Resection of redundant skin, component separation, and use of synthetic materials may all be part of an open complex incisional hernia repair. Your surgeon will discuss what type of repair is best for you.
After surgery, your doctor will discuss your recovery process with you, including ways to lower your chance of the hernia recurring.
