Welcome to the Hernia Resource Center According to the National Center for Health Statistics, approximately 5 million Americans have hernias. Each year approximately 750,000 seek treatment, yet physician experts believe hundreds of thousands choose to suffer in silence, primarily because they fear painful surgery. If you suspect you, or someone you know has a hernia, but are avoiding treatment because you are worried about the discomfort and recuperation time of surgery, talk with your doctor. There are more Surgical Treatment Options available for hernia repair today than ever before. Hernia repair procedures, such as the Bard PerFix Plug repair and Bard Kugel patch repair, can typically be performed in an outpatient setting using local or epidural anesthesia instead of general anesthesia through one small incision within 30 minutes Patients typically leave the hospital or surgical center within 1-2 hours after surgery, and in almost all cases, return to normal activities within a few days on average. A hernia can be painful and potentially life threatening. Therefore, it is important to see your doctor if you have signs of a hernia. A list of doctors in your area, who treat hernias using the

5. Inguinal Hernia Read about the differences in the hernia surgeries called herniorrhaphy, hernioplasty, and bowel resection. Includes symptoms and causes. A hernia is a condition in which part of the intestine bulges through a weak area in muscles in the abdomen. http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health/digest/summary/inhernia/inhernia.htm

A hernia is a condition in which part of the intestine bulges through a weak area in muscles in the abdomen. An inguinal hernia occurs in the groin (the area between the abdomen and thigh). It is called "inguinal" because the intestines push through a weak spot in the inguinal canal, which is a triangle-shaped opening between layers of abdominal muscle near the groin. Obesity, pregnancy, heavy lifting, and straining to pass stool can cause the intestine to push against the inguinal canal. Symptoms of inguinal hernia may include a lump in the groin near the thigh; pain in the groin; and, in severe cases, partial or complete blockage of the intestine. The doctor diagnoses hernia by doing a physical exam and by taking x rays and blood tests to check for blockage in the intestine. The main treatment for inguinal hernia is surgery to repair the opening in the muscle wall. This surgery is called herniorrhaphy. Sometimes the weak area is reinforced with steel mesh or wire. This operation is called hernioplasty.

What Is Gastroesophageal Reflux? What Is the Role of Hiatal Hernia? What Other Factors Contribute to GERD? What Does Heartburn Feel Like? ... Additional Readings Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a digestive disorder that affects the lower esophageal sphincter (LES)the muscle connecting the esophagus with the stomach. Many people, including pregnant women, suffer from heartburn or acid indigestion caused by GERD. Doctors believe that some people suffer from GERD due to a condition called hiatal hernia. In most cases, heartburn can be relieved through diet and lifestyle changes; however, some people may require medication or surgery. This fact sheet provides information on GERD-its causes, symptoms, treatment, and long-term complications. What Is Gastro- esophageal Reflux? Gastroesophageal refers to the stomach and esophagus. Reflux means to flow back or return. Therefore, gastroesophageal reflux is the return of the stomach's contents back up into the esophagus. Figure 1 In normal digestion, the LES opens to allow food to pass into the stomach and closes to prevent food and acidic stomach juices from flowing back into the esophagus. Gastroesophageal reflux occurs when the LES is weak or relaxes inappropriately allowing the stomach's contents to flow up into the esophagus. Figure 1 shows the location of the LES between the esophagus and the stomach.

Hernia Inleiding Een hernia (Hernia Nuclei Pulposi, HNP) is een uitstulping van de tussenwervelschijf. Deze uitstulping drukt op een zenuw, waardoor pijnklachten in het been ontstaan, eventueel met verschijnselen van uitval van de zenuw (doof gevoel, krachtsvermindering). Anatomie van de wervelkolom De wervelkolom heeft een centrale plaats in het bewegingsapparaat. Hij bestaat uit 7 nekwervels, 12 borstwervels, 5 lendenwervels en het heiligbeen. Tussen twee wervellichamen ligt telkens een tussenwervelschijf, en deze 23 schijven verhogen de elasticiteit en de bewegingsmogelijkheden van de wervelkolom. Hoewel een hernia theoretisch van iedere tussenwervelschijf kan voorkomen, zijn voor de praktijk alleen de drie onderste tussenwervelschijven van belang. De hernia's van de halswervelkolom en die van de borstwervelkolom vormen een categorie apart waarop hier niet nader wordt ingegaan. Deze worden apart beschreven (volg de bovenstaande link). Karakteristieke pijnuitstraling in het been. De meeste hernia's komen voor op de onderste drie niveaus In deze figuur zijn de wervelbogen niet afgebeeld. De hernia drukt aan de linkerkant op de uittredende zenuwwortel L5.
