Abdominal hernia
What is hernia?
A hernia most commonly develops as a result of the weakening of the inner layer of muscles of the abdominal wall. Prevailing increased intra-abdominal pressure pushes at the weak spots in the wall. It leads to the formation of a hernial sac to which, over time, an intestine or other abdominal organs can break through. The risk group includes obese people, people doing physical jobs or with respiratory or excretory disorders. Sometimes hernia occurs in pregnant or postnatal women. It can also occur after a surgical procedure in the vicinity of a scar.
Risk
Initially, a hernia usually does not give a lot of pain, and its contents can be easily pushed back into the abdominal cavity. Problems begin when the hernial sac is enlarged by high intra-abdominal pressure caused by chronic cough, physical effort, rectal tenesmus or vesical tenesmus. As a consequence, internal organs move, may also grow together with the wall of the hernial sac, and then get incarcerated. Then the situation requires immediate surgical intervention. Therefore, it is not advisable to wait too long to visit the surgeon. You will note that the smaller the hernia, the smaller the post-surgery trauma.
How it’s done
Currently, surgeons have many methods of surgery at their disposal; advanced age and underlying conditions are not usually contraindications to surgery. The purpose of a hernia surgery is to push back the hernial sac and its contents into the peritoneal cavity and then to strengthen the wall. The use of proper surgical technique and the use of a mesh provide stable strengthening of the abdominal wall.
The most common hernias are inguinal hernia. There are many methods of treatment of hernia. In our clinic, we use the Lichtenstein, Rutkow or PHS method using a polypropylene mesh. Also, the type of anaesthesia depends on the general health of the patient and is determined individually. A few hours after the procedure the patient may be released home or remain in our care until the next day.
Treatment of hyperhidrosis
How it’s done
VASER is a state of the art ultrasonic technology. Its effectiveness, low invasiveness and long-lasting effects make it applicable in many treatments for different body parts. The treatment is safe, short and does not cause any complications. We perform it under local anaesthesia. Hyperhidrosis usually reverses within a few days after surgery, so the results are noticeable quickly.
At first, the armpit area is filled with a special fluid that causes numbness of the area and shrinks blood vessels (to minimize blood loss and reduce bruising). This liquid cools and fills the treated area, making it easier for VASER to work. Then a small probe transmits the ultrasonic energy needed to break up the fat tissue. With the use of expert techniques, this energy concentrates on sweat glands, saving adjoining tissue. Finally, liquid fat and sweat glands are removed by a gentle aspiration process. The patient recovers very quick and there is no need to stay in the clinic.
Mandala Beauty Clinic also offers treatment for hyperthyroidism with botulinum toxin (Botox): fast, but with a periodic effect. If you are looking for a lasting result, consider the VASER technology described above.
