Evolution of Hernia Surgery: From Suture Repair to Advanced Techniques
Hernia is a relatively common problem faced by people of all age groups which can be one of the following types- ventral, inguinal incisional etc. Previously 40-50 years ago only suture repair was the norm, which changed to use of mesh along with sutures about 20-25 years ago. It has evolved from open to Laparoscopic techniques over last 10-15 years.
There are a variety of Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery techniques like eTEP , SCOLA, IPOM, TARM and a new technique in open surgery known as TAR .
Advanced Technique: TAR for Large Hernias Offers Improved Outcomes
In TAR layers of abdomen are separated and mesh is sandwiched in between them. With this technique large hernias which previously were deemed to be inoperable can now be operated with good functional and Cosmetic outcome. Worldwide these techniques are rapidly being adapted for patient benefit. Hence with an idea to train Surgeons in this aspect this workshop was conducted where Surgeons across India, and a foreign delegate from Nepal attended. 6 different surgeries were done at discounted cost at this workshop.
