Home Medical articles Categories Surgery Hiatal hernia treatment: what happens after surgery? How is hiatal hernia surgery performed? This includes over-the-counter medicines such as ibuprofen.
It also includes vitamins, herbs, and other supplements. You will be asked to sign a consent form that gives your permission to do the surgery. Read the form carefully and ask questions if something is not clear.
Your healthcare provider will ask questions about your past health. He or she may also do a physical exam. This is to be sure you are in good health before having the surgery. You may also have blood tests or other tests. You must not eat or drink anything for 8 hours before the surgery. This often means no food or drink after midnight. Your healthcare provider will decide if you should have a laparoscopic surgery or an open repair. Laparoscopic surgery has smaller incisions and a shorter recovery time.
A hiatal hernia repair is often done while you are asleep under general anesthesia. Your healthcare provider will decide what kind of anesthesia to use general or local. This will depend on the reason for the surgery and your overall health. For a laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair, your healthcare provider will make small incisions in your belly.
Carbon dioxide gas will be put into your belly to make it swell. This helps your healthcare provider see your organs more clearly. Then he or she will insert a tube that has a camera and surgical tools, to close the hernia. For an open repair, your healthcare provider will make a larger incision at the site of the hernia. He or she will then repair the hernia by hand, using surgical tools.
After surgery, you will go to the recovery room. Patients who have a history of prostate issues may have difficulty voiding after surgery, which is also a potential side effect of general anesthesia.
This may prolong hospital stay, as patients must urinate before being discharged from the recovery room. On very rare occasions, a urinary catheter is required to aid in voiding. For the few patients that require general anesthesia, it can take longer to wake up after surgery, and therefore prolong the stay in the hospital by an hour or two.
Day surgery for hernia repair The majority of routine hernia surgery in the US is still performed in hospitals as day surgery. It is OK to get these little tapes wet in the shower. The tapes will begin to peel up on the ends 7 — 10 days after surgery — at this point they have done their job and it is OK for you to peel them the rest of the way off if you wish.
You do not have to have them on when you come for your postoperative visit. We try to close your incisions to leave the smallest possible scar. Do not put any ointment or other medication on your incisions — it will not make them "heal better. There are no significant restrictions on activity after surgery.
That means it is OK to walk, climb stairs, have sexual intercourse, mow the lawn, or exercise as long as it doesn't hurt. In fact, returning to normal activity as soon as possible will most likely enhance your recovery. However, if it doesn't feel good, don't do it. Take it easy and let the pain be your guide. Avoid heavy lifting to aide in the healing of your incisions.
You may also feel easily fatigued and "washed out" for a week or two following the surgery.
