Surgery can often be quite a daunting experience and something many of us don’t really want to think about. Because of this, here at Red Rose we will tailor your experience to you. Before your surgery, you will meet the surgeon who will be carrying out your procedure, giving you a chance to ask questions and find out more details. The surgeon will also carry out a detail, physical examination prior to the surgery, as well as talking you through the procedure details. Following this, we will put together a personalised recovery plan including treatment and follow-up. We ensure that your comfort and safety are our priority, and these are at the heart of what we do best.
Herniae are categorised based on where they appear in the abdomen:
Inguinal (groin) herniae: This type of hernia is found in the groin (at the inguinal canal), these are the most common type of hernia. They’re more frequent in men as they have a hole in their abdominal wall where blood vessels supply the testicles.
Femoral herniae: Femoral herniae can appear below the groin, at the hole of the abdomen wall where the femoral artery and vein pass from the abdomen into the leg. These are more common in women following childbirth.
Umbilical and paraumbilical herniae: These can form around the belly button, and are most common in newborn babies and children, as well as those who are overweight and women following childbirth. Paraumbilical herniae are situated just above the umbilicus, and unlike umbilical herniae, have no potential for spontaneous closure.
