Expert Hernia Surgery by Dr. Mahmoud Tabbal - Hernia Specialist Dubai

Introduction to Hernia Surgery

A hernia is when a part of your internal organs protrudes through a weak spot or opening in the surrounding muscle or tissue. Typically, this involves one of your abdominal organs pushing through the abdominal wall. Hernias can develop gradually due to the natural wear and tear of muscles as you age, or they may result from injury, surgery, or a congenital condition. Although most hernias are not initially serious, they can become more problematic as time goes on. A hernia is serious when it becomes trapped in the opening it has pushed through, causing discomfort. In severe cases, this can result in the tissue losing its blood supply and becoming necrotic. Since hernias tend to worsen with time, surgical intervention and repair is often necessary.

Comprehensive Hernia Treatment

Dr. Tabbal adopts a comprehensive approach to hernia treatment, employing advanced diagnostic methods to ensure precise assessment and classification of hernias. This may involve utilising cutting-edge soft tissue imaging techniques, like CT scans. In certain cases, a hernia can be diagnosed through a physical examination, depending on its type. Dr. Tabbal’s team may be able to detect it visually or manually, or it may become apparent when you cough or change your position. Their assessment aims to determine the severity of the hernia and whether it can be manually reduced or pushed back in. Subsequently, personalized treatment plans will be developed to cater to your specific needs.

Advanced Hernia Repair Surgery

Hernia repair surgery is typically a minor procedure unless complications arise. Dr. Mahmoud Tabbal’s team will reposition the herniated tissue and reinforce the affected barrier with stitches or surgical mesh. Dr. Tabbal often opts for minimally invasive techniques in routine hernia repairs, resulting in smaller incisions, reduced postoperative discomfort, and faster recovery times. One of these techniques is laparoscopic surgery, which involves the insertion of a slender tube equipped with a camera into the surgical site, along with long, thin surgical tools through another opening. For some cases, robotic surgery is utilised, with Dr. Tabbal controlling the instruments remotely from a computer console via robotic arms. Nevertheless, traditional open surgery may still be necessary for certain hernias.
