Can Inguinal Hernia Be Termed As A Hereditary Disease?

Post author By Varanasi Hospital
Post date November 5, 2018

A hernia happens to be a swollen lump which is a result of weak abdominal or groin muscle. In fact, it can even be a tear in muscle tissues, which can result in a bulging of the intestines or fat tissues through the weak area, on setting a hernia.

As observed by the laparoscopic hernia surgeon team at Varanasi Hospital, hernias can be of different types, depending on their characteristics, position, and symptoms. However, many a time, it is debated whether or not inguinal hernias can be hereditary, which means can it occur due to a genetic influence or not. let’s understand that in details.

An inguinal hernia can be located in our inguinal canal. In case of a man, their inguinal canal passageways are more sensitive. Hence, groin hernia is common in men.

However, the question is- if you are supposedly having this painful experience, is there any chance of the same happening to your son in the future as well? A hernia can happen due to strain and stress on weak muscles, but is it genetical? Some types of hernias can be congenital.

It means that a person can be born with that due to the abdominal wall weakness. However, most of the time, it is acquired due to everyday activities. Normally when people lift something heavy or work in an awkward position such as bending forward, standing for too long or stressing on their lower abdomen, it makes them susceptible to having a hernia in the future. Moreover, a prior lower abdominal surgery or injury uplifts the chance pretty high as well.

In several cases, it has been found that a family line comprises of genetic makeup that leads to weaker muscle build-up. As a result, it is not uncommon to find consecutive generation to have an inguinal hernia. Thus, it looks as if a hernia is hereditary, but actually, it is due to poor lifestyle choices.

Therefore, it can be concluded that hernias are not genetical but the weak muscular tissues can be!It can also be stated that the genes which are involved in the connective muscle development, are the main reasons behind such ‘inherited’ a hernia. Making healthier lifestyle is even more crucial for such generation to rule out its possibility in the future.

Those who come for Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery for groin hernias are often asked about their family medical history for this very same reason. Hence, you are suggested not to hide anything from the doctors before going for a hernia operation.

Always remember, our efforts to stay fit is a crucial factor that determines our overall health and many a time, can mitigate even many genetic conditions.

Post-surgery diet guidelines for Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery

Post author By Varanasi Hospital
Post date October 26, 2018

Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery has become a convenient mode of medical aid for patients these days. Given the modern technology at exposure, the surgery is done with the aid of a camera and there is a minimal invasion in the patient’s body. This means that the recovery is faster, and patients go home shortly after the surgery is done, say within 4-5 days.

Post-surgery patients are required to take extra care of themselves. This includes monitoring their daily activities and following a strict diet that has been suggested by the expert. When it comes to the consumption of food, there is a long list of ‘No’. Here is a small guideline of what patients can consume.

1. Lesser of fats

Patients should try to stay away from food that contains fatty elements. Post-surgery, food like fries and spicy sauces should be avoided for at least a week. The focus should be on fat-free food or food with lower fat content. Check for the food that is being offered. Anything which has less than 3 grams of fat is acceptable.

2. Focus on fibers

Fibers add strength to your body. Additionally, they also help in the stabilisation of your bowel movements. In case a patient is suffering from diarrhoea, increased consumption of fiber can help stabilise the situation. Food such as oats and barley serve as a good source of fibre in the body. They should continue to nourish the patients for 3-4 weeks after the surgery.

3. Small, but frequent meals

Small meals makes it easier for the body to digest. After undergoing Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery, the whole digestive system of the body gets affected. Hence, it is easier for the body to digest if meals are taken in small quantities and at regular intervals. Meals should contain protein such as fish, vegetables, whole grains, etc.

Some of the foods that should be avoided by patients undergoing keyhole gallbladder surgery are:

Sweets
Dairy products
Caffeine

The human body is perfectly balanced with the help of organs. Any impact on any of the organs will result in an imbalance. Undergoing laparoscopic gallbladder surgery makes the body weak and it mainly depends on other organs for support. Diet for patients should be such that the body doesn’t need to put in extra effort to digest food. Maintain a healthy diet for at least 2-3 months post-surgery for best results.

With the growth of medical advancement in India, healthcare sector is on a boom. Most of the hospitals are now equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure, latest machines for health examination and experienced doctors and surgeons. One of the most popular addition to the healthcare industry has been Laparoscopic Surgery Hospital, a revolutionary surgery where patients undergo a radically different approach to overcome issues such as gallstones, hernia, etc.

What makes Laparoscopic Surgery Hospital different from others?

Laparoscopic surgery means lesser complication, better results and faster recovery. The brilliance of this medical aid allows surgeon to make a small incision in the patient’s body and then perform the whole surgeon with the aid of advanced medical equipment and a camera. Presence of camera makes it easier for the surgeon to get a clear insight of the patient’s body, whereas advanced medical equipment makes it easier to reach spots that are otherwise very difficult to tamper.

An alternative to laparoscopic surgery is open surgery. Open surgery involves making a big cut on the patient’s body, followed by performing a series complex operation. The impact of this surgery on patient is that there is huge blood loss. Post-surgery, the recovery also takes a long time as the wound takes time to heal.

Where can one find the best Laparoscopic Surgery Hospital in Varanasi?

Varanasi Hospital is one of the most renowned hospitals for laparoscopic surgery in Varanasi. The healthcare unit is well equipped with latest medical aids and experienced laparoscopic surgeons. As a matter of fact, Varanasi Hospital is a well-known centre for medical attention in Uttar Pradesh, India.

There have been cases where patients have undergone the surgery and left the hospital after recovering within 5 days.

It is important to evolve with time. A technology that is considered to be the latest today will be termed as obsolete tomorrow. Since time immemorial open surgery has been the core of surgeries, but as medical science is evolving, latest technology is replacing the older ones. There have also been instances where robots are being programmed to execute Laparoscopic surgery. However, the project is still in development phase and awaits confirmation from the Government of India.

Ask Yourself These 4 Questions Before Choosing A Laparoscopic Surgeon in Varanasi

Post author By Varanasi Hospital
Post date October 15, 2018

As the medical industry continues to expand at a rapid pace, the healthcare system in India is starting to disperse in all corners of the nation. However, there prevails a misconception among people that only metro cities have the best healthcare facility. Developing cities like Varanasi, are also showing a decent progress in the medical industry. But the question that remains to be answered is how to find a proficient laparoscopic surgeon in Varanasi? Here are 4 areas that can help you-

Market Reputation of the Surgeon

The foremost thing that a patient should do is to take the market opinion of a surgeon. The best will always get a lot of positive reviews and references and on the other hand, people will also advice you about the undesirable ones.

Experience of the surgeon

Though Laparoscopic surgery is relatively new in the medical industry, it has become popular in India after 2000. 18 years is ample time for a surgeon to gain experience. The benefit of having experienced surgeon is that they have a better grip on the events during the execution period.

First meeting Experience

An overlooked area is the first-hand experience with a surgeon. Most of the patient are so worried about health concern that they fail to notice whether the surgeon is actually helping them. There have been many incidences where patients have been operated without the requirement. A genuine surgeon will first help the patient to understand the persisting issue, then will propose for a surgery (only if required), if the patient agrees, then only he will go ahead.

Post-Surgery follow up

A surgeon is not only duty-bound till the time of surgery. Post-surgery period is also very crucial. This is the time when most of the patients are likely to develop complexities. Make sure the surgeon has an organized schedule for patient check up even after the surgery has been declared successful.

Most of the laparoscopic surgeons in Varanasi are duty-bound. This means that they take their profession seriously and work towards helping patients to overcome a persisting disorder. No surgeon has the right to force a patient to undergo a surgery. Every patient has the right to refuse surgery, if the patient feels so. But in maximum cases, the surgeon and the patient are on the same page.

Now in the present day, with medical advancement, we have access to laparoscopic gallbladder surgery that allows us to avail painless treatment with quality results.

How is Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery different from open Surgery?

Though the objective of laparoscopic surgery and open surgery remains the same – elimination of the problem, the approach is relatively different. In case of open surgery, the surgeon makes a big incision in the patient’s body and then executes the surgery. On the other hand, under laparoscopic surgery, instead of making a big incision, the surgeon makes 2-3 small incisions in the patient’s body. Once of such an incision is used to insert a camera whereby the surgeon is able to view the gallbladder on a large TV screen attached to the surgery room. So instead of looking into the patient’s body through the naked eyes, the surgeon gets a clearer view of the patient’s gallbladder on a TV screen.

Once the view is clear, the surgeon uses various tools to operate through the small incisions. The result of such surgery is that the patient faces minimum pain and a quicker recovery period. Additionally, the view of the gallbladder is much clearer on the TV screen than in case of open surgery and hence, the rate of accuracy is also higher.

Is Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery expensive?

This surgery is high on quality but more convenient on price. As compared to open surgery and its post-surgery maintenance and expenses, Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery is cheaper. With open surgery, a patient needs to under a big incision, then the period of recovery in the hospital is also long. Added to it, the cost of medicines that would heal the incision also needs to take care of for a longer duration. Alternatively, laparoscopic surgery is executed through small incisions which heal quickly. The period of recovery is also small; hence, patients can easily be discharged from the hospital within 3-4 days of the surgery. Taking all the connected expenses into account, laparoscopic surgery is the economical option.

Thus, every patient who is expecting to have a gallbladder surgery in the future are recommended to seek consultation regarding the preferred mode of surgery.
