Doctors from the Department of Interdisciplinary Obstetrics and Gynecology, Thuan My ITO Dong Nai Hospital, a member of Hoan My Medical Group, have just received and successfully treated a case of inguinal hernia in patient D.NT (54 years old, residing in Tan Trieu ward, Dong Nai) using laparoscopic surgery.

According to the patient, in recent months, he noticed an unusual mass appearing in the left groin area every time he walked a lot or carried something. The feeling of pain and discomfort made working difficult. The results of the abdominal ultrasound at the hospital recorded that the intestinal loop and the greater omentum had penetrated the inguinal canal through the hernia neck, about 15mm wide. This is a typical sign of a left inguinal hernia - a disease that many people often ignore until complications appear.

The surgery was directly performed by Dr. Le Manh Tri, Head of the Department of Interdisciplinary Obstetrics and Gynecology. Instead of open surgery, the patient was assigned laparoscopic surgery - one of the preferred methods in treating inguinal hernia today thanks to its low invasiveness and ability to help patients recover quickly.

During the surgery, the doctor makes small incisions in the abdominal wall, inserts a camera and an endoscope to access the hernia site. After treating the hernia sac and returning the herniated organs to their original position, the doctor places an artificial mesh to reinforce the weak abdominal wall and then firmly fixes it to limit the risk of recurrence.

Thanks to the minimally invasive technique, the patient recovered quite quickly. After 24 hours, Mr. T. could stand up, walk lightly, eat normally and perform basic activities normally. After 3 days of monitoring, the patient was discharged in good health, no longer feeling the persistent pain as before.

Sharing about this disease, Dr. Le Manh Tri said: "Inguinal hernia is a fairly common condition, especially in middle-aged men or heavy laborers. If not treated promptly, hernia can cause dangerous complications such as intestinal obstruction. Laparoscopic surgery is currently the optimal choice because it is less invasive, less painful, leaves less scars, has a low recurrence rate and helps patients return to their daily lives soon."

With a team of experienced doctors and a system of modern equipment, Thuan My ITO Dong Nai Hospital is currently a prestigious address for the treatment of surgical diseases in the Dong Nai area and neighboring areas.
