Eversion Surgery for Hernia Repair: A Minimally Invasive Approach
Eversion is a surgical procedure that involves turning the edge of a wound or incision inside out. It is often used to repair hernias, where a piece of tissue protrudes through a weakened area in the abdominal wall. During the procedure, the surgeon will make an incision in the abdomen and gently turn the edge of the wound inside out, allowing them to access the hernia sac and remove it. The wound is then closed with sutures or staples, and the tissue is allowed to heal.
Eversion can be performed laparoscopically, using a small camera and specialized instruments, or through an open incision. The choice of technique depends on the size and location of the hernia, as well as the patient's overall health.
Eversion has several advantages over traditional hernia repair techniques. It allows the surgeon to visualize the hernia sac and surrounding tissue more clearly, which can help to ensure that all of the hernia is removed. Additionally, eversion can be less invasive than other techniques, resulting in less pain and scarring for the patient. Finally, eversion can reduce the risk of complications such as bowel obstruction or infection, which are associated with traditional hernia repair methods.
