TEXAS PEDIATRIC SURGICAL ASSOCIATES UMBILICAL HERNIA What is an umbilical hernia? An umbilical hernia is a small hole in the abdominal wall at the umbilicus (belly button). It is often most visible when the child cries or strains, as the pressure pushes the abdominal contents or fluid through the hole causing it to bulge. The size of the umbilical hernia is determined by feeling the opening in the abdominal muscle, not by the amount of skin protruding (or sticking) out. Umbilical hernia seen from the front Umbilical hernia as seen in side view What are the symptoms of umbilical hernia? Most umbilical hernias have no symptoms. Generally those concerned about the umbilical hernia are the parents and grandparents. The hernia gets tight when the child strains or cries but usually causes no pain to the child. Some parents express feelings of quilt, but should not because the cause is unknown. Incarceration (abdominal contents getting stuck in the hernia) are very rare.

TEXAS PEDIATRIC SURGICAL ASSOCIATES INGUINAL HERNIA What is a hernia? A hernia is the bulging of a portion of an organ through an abnormal opening. The danger from herniation arises when the organ protruding through the opening is constricted to the extent that circulation is stopped or when the protruding organ impairs the function of other structures. What is an inguinal hernia? Inguinal hernias account for about 80% of all hernias and are the most common surgical procedures done in infancy. These hernias appear more frequently in boys than in girls. An inguinal hernia is derived from persistence of all or part of the processus vaginalis, the tube of peritoneum that precedes the testicle into the scrotum during the eighth month of pregnancy. Following the dropping of the testicles into the scrotum, the processus vaginalis withers and closes forming the tunica vaginalis that lies below the testicles in the scrotum. When this fails to happen, fluid from the abdomen or an abdominal organ (usually the intestines) can be forced into it causing a bulging or mass that can be felt. The process vaginalis can extend only partly from the inguinal canal or extend completely into the scrotum. Normal scrotum: the processus vaginalis and tunica vaginalis are obliterated and contain no fluid or abdominal contents Inguinal hernia: the processus vaginalis has remained open allowing abdominal contents (fluid and loops of bowel) to enter into the scrotum How is an inguinal hernia treated?

Prognosis What is an umbilical hernia? An umbilical hernia is an abnormal bulge that can be seen or felt at the umbilicus (belly button). This hernia develops when a portion of the lining of the abdomen, part of the intestine, and/or fluid from the abdomen, comes through the muscle of the abdominal wall. Umbilical hernias are common, occurring in 10% to 20% of all children. They are, however, more common in African Americans. Low birth weight and premature infants are also more likely to have an umbilical hernia. Boys and girls are equally affected. What causes an umbilical hernia? As the fetus develops during pregnancy, there is a small opening in the abdominal muscles that allows the umbilical cord to pass through, connecting mother to baby. As the baby grows after birth, this opening in the abdominal muscles closes. Sometimes, however, these muscles do not meet and grow together completely, and a small opening remains. This opening is called an umbilical hernia. What are the symptoms of an umbilical hernia?

Lagerugpijn Hernia van de rug Versiedatum: april 2005 Deze patiëntenbrief is oorspronkelijk bedoeld als ondersteuning van het consult door de huisarts. De huisarts geeft de brief mee aan patiënten met de betreffende ziekte of aandoening. De tekst gaat ervan uit dat de patiënt al door de huisarts is gezien en dat de informatie uit de brief is besproken. De adviezen in de brief gelden alleen voor mensen bij wie de diagnose is gesteld. De informatie dient niet als vervanging van een consult door de huisarts. Bedenk bij het lezen dat uw gezondheidssituatie anders kan zijn dan in de teksten wordt beschreven. Wat is een hernia van de rug? De wervelkolom bestaat uit wervels en tussenwervelschijven, bijeengehouden door banden, spieren en pezen. Door onbekende oorzaak kan een uitstulping van een tussenwervelschijf ontstaan. Dit noemen we een hernia. Meestal zit de hernia onder in de rug. De hernia kan op een zenuwbaan drukken en deze prikkelen of irriteren. Wat zijn de verschijnselen? Een hernia kan pijn in een been geven die doortrekt tot in het onderbeen, soms tot in de voet. Meestal is er ook lagerugpijn. De pijn in het been is scherp. Bepaalde houdingen of bewegingen, maar ook hoesten, niezen of persen, kunnen de uitstralende pijn oproepen of versterken. Soms is er krachtverlies in het been of een gevoel alsof het been slaapt.

A hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of the stomach pushes up into the chest through a small opening in the diaphragm, the muscle that separates the stomach from the chest. A hiatal hernia results in retention of acid and other contents above this opening. These acids and other substances can easily back up (reflux) into the esophagus. Many people age 50 and over have small hiatal hernias; however, hiatal hernias may affect people of all ages.

Although there are certainly other options (including general anesthesia and regionl anesthesia such as spinal or epidural), local offers some unique advantages to the patient. As such, here is a short summary about the use of local for these operations including a discusssion of advantages and disadvantages. Obviously, the choice of anesthesia will be influenced by patient preferences and needs. In addition, to complete any operation successfully under local anesthesia requires a surgeon who is comfortable with the technique and willing to stop surgery and place additional local anesthesia should this become necessary. Interestingly with inguinal hernia repair it is rarely, if ever, necessary to supplement with additional injections once the initial infiltration is complete. Reported experiences with it have been uniformly positive. Advantages of Local Anesthesia Minimal physiological disturbance which may be an advantage in the patient in whom you wish to avoid a general anesthetic and in whom a regional technique may be contraindicated. This could include patient's with serious cardiac or respiratory diseases which could tolerate other types of anesthesia but would be at reduced risk if given only local anesthesia.
