Ventral Hernia
Overview
疝气最常见于腹壁, 当一个区域变弱并形成撕裂或空洞时. 腹部组织或部分肠道可能会穿过这个脆弱的区域, 引起疼痛和潜在的严重并发症.
Ventral hernias are a type of abdominal hernia. They may develop as a defect at birth, 由于部分腹壁不完全闭合而引起的, 或者在腹部手术中切口的地方发展, 发生在切口不能正常愈合的时候.
切口疝可在手术后不久或多年后发生. 他们影响了多达30%的腹部手术患者, such as an appendectomy.

Signs & symptoms
腹疝导致腹部隆起或肿块,随着时间的推移而增大. In some cases, the lump may disappear when you lie down, 当你按压腹部时它们会重新出现或扩大, such as when you stand, or lift or push something heavy.
当疝内的组织被困在腹肌中时, it can cause pain, nausea, vomiting and constipation.
In rare cases, 这可能会导致一种潜在的危及生命的情况,即“窒息”," which requires emergency surgery. 当疝出肠的血液供应被切断或大大减少时,就会发生这种情况, causing the bowel tissue to die or rupture. 绞窄性疝的其他症状包括严重的腹痛, profuse sweating, rapid heartbeat, severe nausea, vomiting and high fever.
Treatments
Ventral hernias are repaired by surgery. 如果不进行治疗,大多数疝气会增大.
疝气未经治疗也可能导致肠道阻塞和“绞窄”," which requires immediate medical attention. 当疝出肠的血液供应被切断或大大减少时,就会发生绞窄, causing the bowel tissue to die or rupture.
腹疝的外科修复是一项复杂而重大的手术. 特别大的腹疝需要进行性气腹手术.
Laparoscopic repair
In this approach, surgeons use a laparoscope, 一架装有电视摄像机的小型望远镜, to view the hernia from the inside. The laparoscope is placed inside a cannula, or small, hollow tube, 它是通过一个小切口插入腹部的.
In most cases, 做三到四个大约1/4到1/2英寸大小的切口来插入套管, 用来去除疤痕组织的器械和特殊的网片. 网状物被放置在腹肌的后面而不是肌肉之间. 它是通过手术钉或缝合线固定的.
该手术通常在全身麻醉下进行. Bladder catheterization is required.
Compared to traditional hernia surgery, 腹腔镜修复包括较少的术后疼痛, 减少伤口麻木,早日恢复工作和正常活动.
We can perform certain hernia repairs using robotic surgery这是另一种具有类似益处的微创技术.
