In this video, Dr. Paras, Senior Laparoscopic Surgeon from HexaHealth, discusses epigastric hernia. This hernia happens when part of the intestines pushes through the abdominal muscles between the belly button and the chest. Often they are small and cause no symptoms or need any treatment. However, the larger ones that cause symptoms won't heal on their own, but surgery can fix the problem.

In addition, he mentions how hernias are treated both laparoscopically as well as robotically. He discusses the laparoscopy method in which an operation is done through telescopes as it enters your peritoneal cavity or abdominal wall and is attached to a camera giving the perfect view to treat the part. No significant cuts are done for this procedure, only tiny puncture holes, which is why laparoscopy is synonymous with keyhole surgeries.

All laparoscopies are done under general anesthesia and require a breathing tube. Three half-inch or smaller incisions are made in the lower part of the abdomen. By inserting a laparoscope into the stomach, a doctor can visualize the hernia defect on a monitor. Most epigastric hernias are not considered major surgery, and patients go home the same day.

You get a hernia when part of your inside bulges through a tear in your muscle or connective tissue. Hernias most commonly occur in the chest, abdominal cavity, and hips. Lifting heavy objects and bending over can aggravate the condition.

The complications of an untreated epigastric hernia include the following:
enlarged hernia, which eventually allows parts of the bowel to push through
increase or onset of pain and tenderness
bowel blockage
loss of domain, in which the hernia becomes so large that it’s nearly impossible to repair even with a mesh
