Comprehensive Hernia Surgery Package at BIMC Siloam Nusa Dua

Hernia Surgery Package at BIMC Siloam Nusa Dua — A hernia occurs when an organ pushes through an opening in the muscle or tissue that holds it in place. For example, the intestines may break through a weakened area in the abdominal wall. Hernias are most common in the abdomen, but they can also appear in the upper thigh, belly button, and groin areas.

The thecal sac that bulges through the weak area may contain a piece of intestine or fatty lining of the colon (omentum) if the hernia occurs in the abdominal wall or groin. If the hernia occurs through the diaphragm, the muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen, part of the stomach may be involved. Hernias may be present at birth (congenital), or they may develop at any time thereafter (acquired).

Most people can feel a bulge where an inguinal hernia develops in the groin. There may be a burning or sharp pain sensation in the area because of inflammation of the inguinal nerve or a full feeling in the groin with activity. If a hernia occurs because of an event like lifting a heavy weight, a sharp or tearing pain may be felt.

However, many people do not have any complaint other than a feeling of fullness in the area of the inguinal canal. While primary care providers make the diagnosis of an abdominal wall hernia, it is the general surgeon who performs the operation and repairs the hernia.

When a hernia becomes incarcerated, often the patient goes to the emergency department and the physician there makes the diagnosis and sometimes can push the hernia back into place (reduced). If the hernia is reduced, referral as an outpatient to a general surgeon may be an option. If the hernia remains trapped (incarcerated) or if there is concern that the hernia is strangulated, an immediate consultation with a surgeon is required.

BIMC Siloam Nusa Dua today provides a surgery package for “non-complication” hernia cases, valid until May 31. The package is valid for KTP holders and includes the specialist’s fee, hospitalization for two nights before and after surgery as well as medication.
