Raising meat pies to fill the pit? Treating hernia and strengthening abdominal wall muscles

When you engage in strenuous exercise or carry heavy objects for a long time, you suddenly feel your groin protruding. Be careful it's a hernia! The traditional hernia repair is to cut a big wound in the groin on both sides of the body, and there will always be two centipede-like scars after the operation. Surgeons pointed out that at present, the trauma of laparoscopic surgery is very small, and with the development of medical material technology, as long as 3D artificial omentum is placed in the hole of the abdominal wall of patients with hernia and a thin "meat pie" grows, the muscle support of the abdominal wall can be strengthened and the recurrence of hernia can be avoided.

Implanting artificial omentum into abdominal muscles of male patients with hernia can increase the support of muscles and fascia. Dr. Lai from the Department of Surgery, Fengyuan Hospital of the Ministry of Health and Welfare said that a few days ago, 1 45-year-old male deliveryman came to the hospital for treatment. The chief complaint is that the lower abdomen often feels pain and discomfort, and the groin feels a meat ball bulge, which seems to disappear when lying down and resting. Because the symptoms did not improve for half a year, after diagnosis, it was found that the abdominal wall muscles could not bear the highest weight because of driving for a long time and carrying 30 kilograms of goods.

3D artificial omentum supports abdominal wall muscles.

Dr. Lai Ji Hong said that the previous hernia repair was to push the detached small intestine back into the abdominal cavity, and then repair and sew the defective abdominal wall muscles and fascia again. However, in order to consider that truck drivers will continue to carry heavy objects in the future, it is suggested to use 3D artificial omentum to strengthen the repair when their abdominal muscles and fascia are too weak.

Dr. Lai Ji Hong explained that in order to let patients leave the hospital and return to work as soon as possible, it is recommended that patients undergo laparoscopic surgery with relatively little trauma. During the operation, three small holes will be opened on both sides of navel and groin. After the small intestine is adjusted to its original position, an unabsorbed artificial omentum will be placed in the holes of abdominal muscles and membranes, and a "thin meat pie" of 0.2-0.3 cm can be cultivated after fibroblasts secrete collagen, muscle protein and other components.
