Surgical Procedures

During the interventions, our aim is always to perform surgery that is aesthetically pleasing, plastically corrected, and completed with proper scar management. If necessary, a plastic surgeon can be involved. Our surgical outpatient clinic is continuously available for the long-term follow-up of surgical wounds. Rehabilitation and physiotherapy are also available within our institution.

Our complex and more complicated than usual abdominal wall hernia surgeries include the following cases:

• Surgeries in which a bowel, biliary, or urological surgery is performed simultaneously with the hernia surgery, therefore under one anesthesia. Such interventions are typically required when an existing hernia is detected during the examination before another surgery.
• There are patients who have several hernias at the same time due to abdominal wall weakness; these can also be resolved during one anesthesia.
• A special challenge is the surgical solution of enterocutaneous fistulas starting from the intestines or stomas open on the skin, which are accompanied by hernias. We safely perform these interventions in our institution.
• Treating complications caused by infected, suppurating meshes presents a special task. In these cases, we first remove the mesh, which we replace with an absorbable one. In certain cases, we can only perform the reconstruction of the abdominal wall months later, following the resolution of the infection.
• The treatment of hernias larger than 10 cm also represents a larger surgical task, where the abdominal wall cannot be directly united. In these cases, we replace the abdominal wall with a special mesh.
• The treatment of recurrent hernias, which have recurred several times, also forms a separate category, and we solve these with personalized procedures.
