Giant Hernia Surgery with Abdominoplasty: Combined Surgical Methods
In the treatment of large hernias that cause both aesthetic and health problems in the abdominal area, giant hernia surgeries performed together with abdominoplasty offer patients a comprehensive solution. Such combined surgeries are preferred especially in cases where large-sized hernias are present and aim to improve the quality of life of patients.
What is a Giant Hernia?
A giant hernia is a condition in which the internal organs protrude through a large opening in the abdominal wall as a result of severe weakening of the muscles and tissues in the abdominal area. This condition not only causes an aesthetically unpleasant appearance but can also cause health problems such as pain and digestive problems. Giant hernias usually occur as a result of previous abdominal surgeries, obesity, pregnancy and heavy physical activity.
What is Tummy Tuck Surgery?
Abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgery performed to remove excess skin and fat tissue in the abdominal area, tighten the abdominal muscles and correct the abdominal contour. This surgery is especially performed on people who have looseness and sagging in the abdominal area due to reasons such as pregnancy, excessive weight loss or aging.
Performing Abdominoplasty and Giant Hernia Surgery Together
Performing a giant hernia surgery together with an abdominoplasty is ideal for achieving both aesthetic and functional results. In this combined surgical method, the giant hernia is first repaired and the abdominal wall is strengthened. Then, the abdominoplasty is performed, providing a flatter and tighter appearance in the abdominal area.
Surgery Process
Hernia Repair: To repair a giant hernia, the surgeon reinforces a weak spot in the abdominal wall. During this procedure, the hernia sac is repaired and the abdominal wall is supported with a synthetic mesh if necessary.
Abdominoplasty: After hernia repair, an abdominal tuck is performed. In this stage, excess skin and fat tissue are removed, abdominal muscles are tightened, and a new abdominal contour is created by stretching the skin.
Post-Operative Recovery Process
The recovery process for combined surgeries may be longer than for patients who have only one surgery. However, patients who have a giant hernia surgery along with an abdominoplasty can usually return to their daily activities within a few weeks. Things to consider during the recovery process:
Rest: Care should be taken to rest during the first few weeks.
Pain Management: Pain and discomfort may be felt after the surgery, in which case painkillers recommended by your doctor should be used.
Physical Activity: Heavy lifting and strenuous physical activities should be avoided after surgery. Light exercises recommended by your doctor can speed up the healing process.
