Do You Have a Hernia? British Hernia Centre:"You may be surprised at the WIDE variation in the techniques in use and the different levels of skill and experience around the world and the equally wide variations in the outcomes of surgery. The more you know about hernia, the more likely it is that you will enjoy a safer, better and more reliable repair. There is a great deal of information on this site covering all kinds of hernias, not all of which will interest YOU. However, if you only by-pass the pages on other kinds of hernia, and read the "MAIN" pages carefully, this will inform you about your hernia and how it can be repaired today, if you seek it."

Hernia Repair, WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW, healthsquare.com:"Hernias erupt when a weakened abdominal muscle tears open, permitting the organs inside to push through. Typically, a hernia will pouch out, looking like a balloon beneath the skin. Two areas are especially vulnerable. Inguinal (IN-gwih-null) hernias appear at the point where the leg joins the abdomen. Men feel this type of hernia as a lump in the scrotum. Umbilical (um-BILL-ih-kull) hernias crop up at the navel. Surgical scars present yet another opportunity for hernias---in this case called incisional hernias. A hernia repair is known medically as a herniorrhaphy (HER-nee-OR-uh-fee)."

******************************************************

Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair, Lapsurgery.com:"A hernia occurs when the abdominal wall weakens and the inner lining of the abdomen pushes through the weakened area, forming a sac. To correct this problem, the surgeon's goal is to patch the abdominal wall in a way that will permanently strengthen it, precluding the possibility of another hernia later. Minimally invasive surgery for hernia repair begins with three or four small incisions through which the surgeon inserts trocars-narrow, tube-like devices. Through one trocar, the surgeon inserts a laparoscope, which is a telescopic videocamera that provides a magnified view of internal anatomical structures. Surgical instruments for cutting and gripping are inserted through the other trocars. Dr. Ballantyne watches on a video monitor as he manipulates these instruments inside the abdomen."

Laparoscopic Hernia Repair, ADAM NAAMAN, M.D.:"Normally, the organs within the abdominal cavity are held in place by a strong, muscular "girdle" that keeps them properly positioned and functioning correctly. A hernia is a weakness or defect is the abdominal wall that allows some portion of the abdominal contents, such as the bowels, to protrude through the opening, causing a lump or bulge under the skin that can be felt by the patient."

******************************************************

Questions and Answers about Hernias, Mark A. Pleatman, M.D.:"Why should hernias be repaired? Once a hernia has developed, it will tend to enlarge and cause discomfort. If a loop of bowel gets caught in the hernia, it may become obstructed or its blood supply may be cut off. This could then become a life-threatening situation. Since hernias can be repaired effectively and with minimal risk, most surgeons therefore recommend that hernias be repaired when diagnosed, unless there is serious medical problem which makes it too risky."

Laparoscopic Hernia Repair About Your Hernia And Laparoscopic Repair, Society of American Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES):"Approximately 600,000 hernia repair operations are performed annually in the United States. Many are performed by the conventional "open" method. Some are performed laparoscopically. If your surgeon has recommended a laparoscopic repair, this brochure can help you understand what a hernia is and about the treatment."

Hernias, Yourhealth.com:"Hernias do not go away by themselves. They do not improve with time. The only treatment of a hernia is surgery to repair it. Surgery can repair most inguinal hernias in a short and simple operation. The surgeon makes a small cut over the hernia. The intestine is pushed back to its normal position. Then the weak area is sewn together. In a newer operation, a mesh patch is secured over the weak area. Sometimes a special instrument called a laparoscope is used. Several very small cuts are made. The laparoscope, a long thin-lighted tube is put in the cuts, and the repair of the hernia is made this way."

Hernia Repair, Yoursurgery.com:"A hernia is a protrusion of usually a loop of bowel or a tissue through an opening in the wall of the abdominal cavity in which the bowel lies. Hernias are one of the most common conditions requiring surgery. A hernia is a protrusion of usually a loop of bowel or a tissue through an opening in the wall of the abdominal cavity in which the bowel lies. Hernias can occur in men and women of all ages and in children (see Pediatric Hernia Repair). Hernias can develop around the navel, in the groin, or any place where you may have had a surgical incision. Some hernias are present at birth. Others develop slowly over a period of months or years. Hernias may also come on quite suddenly."

Nurses' Station:"The idea for the Nurses' Station Catalog was conceived in 1989. After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses."
