Rehabilitation after reduction of umbilical hernia. Recovery course after umbilical hernia surgery. Physical activity and sex life

Does an umbilical hernia require special care after surgery? You will receive an exhaustive answer to this question from our specialists already in the period of preparation for plastic surgery. Ignoring the rules of postoperative recovery, the patient often runs the risk of complications and even recurrence of the hernia process. The main required activities include:

• timely dressings and taking painkillers
• use of a special bandage
• proper nutrition - prevention of pathology and relapse controlled level of physical activity and a set of exercises of physiotherapy exercises

Let us consider in more detail the stages of the rehabilitation period.

How quickly does an umbilical hernia heal after surgery?

Given the sparing modern technologies used during operations, most patients, after examining the attending doctor, leave the walls of the Clinic after 6-7 hours. In some cases, it may be recommended to stay in the ward under the supervision of the Clinic staff. Also, the patient can stay in the hospital in the presence of concomitant pathologies and complaints of poor health (increased blood pressure, risk of bleeding, etc.). Taking painkillers is recommended only if there is pain. Independent movement (in a mandatory supporting corset) is recommended literally a day later. Dressings are performed on an outpatient basis within 2-3 days after discharge, then it is recommended to do them yourself, using sterile materials. At this stage, healing and tightening of the wound surface takes place and the sutures are removed after a week.

• do not avoid visiting the doctor for examination and dressing - this threatens with a complicated inflammatory process of the wound, followed by the formation of pus and a delay in complete rehabilitation.

Do not ignore wearing a special bandage

The sutures have been removed, the wound is closing up and you are assigned to wear a postoperative bandage - be sure to wear it for the recommended period. This is a necessary measure for complete scarring of tissue and muscles. It is recommended to wear a bandage when in an upright position, mainly during the daytime (on average, from several weeks to 2 months). It makes it easier to do household chores associated with physical exertion, it will help you go down the stairs and go outside. The corset can be removed at night and during daytime rest. The maximum period of corset use may be limited on the recommendation of the attending doctor, since prolonged use is fraught with muscle dystrophy. At the same time, possible relapses of the disease can be observed in those who, for one reason or another, refused to use the bandage.

• Refusal to use a bandage can lead to complications after surgery, such as muscle separation in the navel and the recurrence of the pathological process.

Proper diet after umbilical hernia surgery is the most important component of the recovery process

The strictest dietary restrictions are recommended in the first few days after umbilical hernia repair, then the diet can be gradually supplemented with your favorite dishes. Immediately after hernia repair - only food in liquid form. You can eat hateful broths, vegetable soups and cereals boiled in water. Drinking water is recommended, preferably purified. To enhance digestion and avoid constipation, we strongly recommend:

• before eating, take a spoonful of any crude oil - which helps to increase intestinal patency;
• eat fractionally, regularly, avoid long breaks, do not allow hunger;
• it is worth significantly reducing the consumed portions of solid food;
• avoid foods that increase acidity.
• not following the recommendations - you risk getting constipation, contributing to the occurrence of relapses.

If the healing is normal and after 20 days, you can gradually introduce the usual diet, while not ignoring the generally accepted recommendations and adhering to the principles of a healthy diet.

Is the use of moderate physical activity and exercise therapy justified in the process of rehabilitation after surgery

You can get out of bed under the supervision of medical personnel or a loved one literally on the day of the operation. As the wound heals, usually 2 weeks, a gradual increase in load is recommended. It can be everyday household chores without sharp bends and heavy lifting. Physical exercise and light work with a load around the house are possible only with healed tissue and a formed scar.

The use of the laparoscopic method allows you to accelerate healing and start loading with weight lifting in a month. An indispensable condition is the absence of the slightest discomfort.

Special complexes of therapeutic exercises are an excellent way to prevent a possible recurrence of the disease for patients of any age and gender. Exercises performed first under the supervision of a medical professional, and then independently, contribute to the alternation of sparing muscle tension with their relaxation. Thus, you will gradually strengthen the muscle corset that keeps the abdominal area in good shape and prevent a possible relapse.

What is useful for a patient to know after umbilical hernia repair

Based on the initial causes that caused the process of hernia formation, adjustments are made to the patient's lifestyle.

• Given that male patients after plastic surgery may be bothered by problems with the genitourinary system, it is worth visiting a urologist regularly.
• Alcoholic drinks, especially strong ones, should be significantly limited, as they cause excessive appetite and retain water in the body.
• Proper fractional nutrition and moderate exercise should be the basic rules of your life.
• Categorically avoid eating high-calorie dishes made from white flour, fatty meats and fish, packaged fruit juices, strong tea. Watch your weight, drink more clean water and you will be healthy.

Useful will be:

Prohibited products in the postoperative period

• stewed and boiled vegetables;
• cereals;
• low-fat cottage cheese;
• meat;
• soft-boiled eggs;
• stale bread made from wheat flour;
• fresh fruits.

Fiber can be helpful in small amounts. It has a positive effect on defecation. The same function is performed by fresh fruits.

Physical activity

It is strictly forbidden to lift a load of more than 3 kg, heavy physical exertion, abdominal exercises, swimming, jumping, running and walking. You don't have to give up sports completely. Light exercise is recommended.

Often the attending physician prescribes the use of maintenance. It is not worth making a decision on its use independently.

What are the features of rehabilitation in children

Recovery after deletion is very fast. There are practically no complications. Rehabilitation is carried out according to the same principle as in adults. A little complicates the task is that you need to make sure that the baby does not jump and run, so that he does not touch the wound with his hands and does not wet it.

Children are also prescribed a diet. It is necessary to ensure that the child does not develop bloating and constipation.

No exception and the purpose of the bandage. Children need it for a much shorter period. This is facilitated by the absence of excessive physical exertion, rapid growth and elasticity of tissues. The attending physician appoints the specific terms of wearing the bandage.

Timely detection of an umbilical hernia and contacting a doctor will help to avoid unwanted complications, and possibly surgery.

Prevention

Prevention is effective only in the case of an acquired umbilical hernia. For this you need:

• eat properly;
• exclude food that leads to flatulence and constipation;
• exercise regularly;
• do exercises for the press;
• refrain from lifting heavy objects or use a bandage;
• regulate body weight;
• use a bandage in the third trimester of pregnancy and after.

Video: Rehabilitation after hernia removal

Surgery to remove an inguinal hernia is performed on newborns, adult men and women. All patients, regardless of the chosen technique and state of health after treatment, undergo to restore the body after anesthesia and further stabilize the internal organs and general condition. Weakness of the connection of the umbilical ring leads to a hernia, and surgical treatment is performed to restore the anatomical position of the internal organs. Each operation has its own rehabilitation period, which can last from a week to six months, and delayed rehabilitation may be required even after decades.

Recovery after surgery in adults is impossible without additional therapeutic measures. Immediately after the removal of the umbilical hernia, the patient must wear a bandage, he is prescribed a strict diet, physical activity is limited, and a course of medications is attributed. After discharge of adults, scheduled examinations are coordinated to monitor the condition, correct nutrition, and undergo physiotherapeutic procedures.

Early rehabilitation period

The stitches are removed after the operation to remove the umbilical hernia in about a week. The procedure for adults is painless, but discomfort is present. Immediately after the seam is exposed, a wide belt or support bandage should be worn. It is possible to completely abandon the bandage only after the complete restoration of muscle tissue, which occurs on average after a month and a half and depends on the rate of wound healing in each individual.

By following all the prescribed preventive measures of the doctor, you can significantly reduce the rehabilitation and wound healing process.

For this, a strict diet, rest regimen, and medication are prescribed. Physical activity, heavy lifting, tension during coughing can lead to suture divergence, suppuration, infection of the wound.

What should be done in the first two weeks after the treatment of an umbilical hernia?

• Observe the daily routine: this simple recommendation is not a formality, but a condition for successful rehabilitation of adults. For the first two days, a person should lie and sleep only on his back, on the third and fourth days, you can begin to do simple household work, walk more, but at the slightest fatigue, listen to your body and immediately rest. During this week, dressings and wound treatment are done daily. The entire recovery period is followed by a diet;
• For the second week after the stitches are removed, soreness may still remain, therefore, painkillers or injections, physiotherapy procedures are prescribed;
• The rehabilitation period of the elderly is more difficult, since it is necessary to monitor the possible occurrence of serious complications: respiratory failure, tachycardia, wound infection.

Massage and physiotherapy after stitch removal

In the postoperative period, massage is indicated more for newborns and children with a congenital defect of the musculo-ligamentous apparatus. Adult patients are also recommended to massage regularly to quickly heal the wound, improve blood circulation at the site of the operation. The procedure can only be performed by a professional, since after the operation the muscles are still weak and easily damaged.

In addition to massage, rehabilitation includes such physiotherapeutic procedures as ultraviolet treatment, electrophoresis, tocotherapy. All this allows you to normalize microcirculation, anesthetize the navel area after surgery and prevent inflammatory processes.

Already from the third week after the removal of the umbilical hernia, you need to start doing gymnastics, performing light exercises on the abdominal muscles. For adults, it is useful to do exercises daily before breakfast, stretch and warm up the muscles. Tilts and turns of the torso, squats, leg raises - all these simple exercises should be done in the umbilical bandage and on a soft rug.

Diet in the postoperative period

A therapeutic diet is necessary to fully saturate the body during the rehabilitation period and prevent digestive disorders.

The diet after the treatment of umbilical hernia is based on the following principles:

• Exclusion of spicy, carbohydrate, fatty foods;
• Daily meals should include soups, cereals, vegetables, fresh fruits;
• Drink plenty of fluids, but limit coffee and milk;
• Excluded alcoholic beverages, canned foods.

Immediately after the operation, the patient can only take liquid food to start the digestive system. Gradually, the diet is supplemented with soups, mashed potatoes, meat and steamed fish.

In the postoperative period, it is useful to prepare herbal tinctures at home: rosehip, oak bark, chamomile, sage, yarrow. Infusions and decoctions increase immunity, help reduce pain, relieve inflammation and calm adults after surgery. Nutrition should not be limited only to cereals and soups, for pleasure you can eat sweets, drink juices and a little coffee, but at the same time observe how the body reacts to certain food groups.

Complications and secondary umbilical hernia

Complications after surgery at the present stage of treatment of umbilical hernias are rare, and the reason for this is not a doctor's mistake, but the patient's attitude to the rehabilitation period.

Severe complications after removal of an umbilical hernia:

• malnutrition provokes constipation, which increases intrauterine pressure and leads to re-pathology;
• an early return to physical work causes divergence of sutures, recurrence of a hernia;
• ignoring therapeutic exercises will make itself felt only after a few years, when the weakened muscles disperse, and the organs again lose their usual position.

Recovery after removal of an umbilical hernia: rehabilitation, prevention, diet, bandage

An umbilical hernia is a disease in which organs protrude through an enlarged umbilical ring. The most effective and effective method of therapy is surgery, the risk of hernia recurrence is minimal. Therefore, in order to avoid complications associated with infringement of organs, it is necessary to contact the surgeon in a timely manner.

General information about umbilical hernias

More often hernias are acquired, less often congenital. Umbilical hernias are characterized by rapid progression and an increase in size, especially if the doctor's recommendations are not followed. The size of the hernia can vary from one to several tens of centimeters, the diameter of the hernial sac exceeds the diameter of the gate. Therefore, this type of hernia is characterized by frequent infringement of the contents and intestinal obstruction, and these conditions are already indications for emergency hernioplasty.

Often, a hernia is accompanied by stretched thinned muscles and aponeurosis, muscle diastasis. The hernial sac itself is surrounded by thinned tissues. If the hernia has occurred repeatedly, there may be adhesions and partitions inside the bag, which also contribute to the pinching of organs.

Umbilical hernia, in addition to visible protrusion, is accompanied by pain, aggravated by movement, nausea.

Reasons for the appearance

The navel area is not covered with muscles, therefore it is a weak point. Factors contributing to the stretching of the umbilical ring and the formation of a hernial sac are as follows:

• umbilical ring defects
• injury
• increased intra-abdominal pressure
  • excess loads
  • severe persistent cough
  • pregnancy and childbirth
  • constipation
  • overweight.

Diagnostic methods

The first diagnostic criterion is a visual examination of the doctor and palpation of the hernia. The doctor can determine the involvement of organs in the hernial sac, the diameter of the umbilical ring, the reducibility of the hernia, pain and tension. Further, the surgeon may prescribe an x-ray of the stomach and intestines with contrast, FGDS, ultrasound, herniography.

Ultrasound describes the size of the hernia, the organs inside and the presence of an adhesive process.

Herniography - the introduction of contrast into the abdominal cavity and tracking its flow into the hernial sac.

Computed tomography confirms the diagnosis if the doctor has doubts after the examinations.

Operation types

At the moment, there are several methods of surgical treatment of umbilical hernia, they are presented in the table.

The above methods are tension, currently rarely used. During these operations, the navel may be removed. The recovery period is quite long, the patient is at risk of complications and relapses.

The average duration of the operation is from 30 minutes to 2 hours.

What are meshes for hernioplasty

Mesh implants are used quite often, their advantage is high efficiency and low risk of complications. There are several types of nets that differ in the material of manufacture and price:

• The polyglycolic acid absorbable implant is a high-strength implant that completely absorbs after 4 months of placement. In place of the mesh remain connective tissue strands formed at the site of the implant.
• Partially absorbable on the basis of polypropylene - connective tissue is also formed around the implant, but the polypropylene mesh remains in place, eliminating the recurrence of a hernia. This species is characterized by a low probability of an allergic and inflammatory reaction.
• Non-absorbable implants (polypropylene, teflon or polyester) - remain unchanged for a long time, are not allergic. Not subject to hydrolysis and biodegradation.
• PHS-system: a three-layer implant, the layers of which are located at different levels. The positive quality of this system is that less suture material is required, healing is fast and relatively painless.

All modern materials are hypoallergenic, low toxicity, resistance to infectious agents, elasticity.

Pain relief options

With hernioplasty of an umbilical hernia, three types of anesthesia are acceptable - local, epidural and general.

Local anesthesia

is used in young patients, while fatty tissue should be slightly developed, and the hernia proceeds without complications. In addition to this category of people, local anesthesia is necessary for elderly patients for whom other methods are dangerous to health. This type of anesthesia is a layered injection infiltration. The patient is conscious, but absolutely not sensitive in the anesthetized area.

Epidural pain relief

possible with uncomplicated umbilical hernias. The anesthesiologist injects drugs between the vertebrae at a certain level, while turning off the sensitivity of the lower half of the abdomen and below.

General anesthesia

used for large hernias, infringement of the hernial sac, coprostasis and the inability to perform another method of anesthesia.

In laparoscopic hernioplasty, combined anesthesia with artificial lung ventilation is used.

Preparing for the operation

Before hernia repair, the patient must be examined. The survey includes the following tests:

• General blood analysis,
• Biochemistry of blood
• General urine analysis,
• coagulogram,
• Blood for HIV, hepatitis and syphilis,
• ECG.

In order for the doctor to understand the degree of immersion of the abdominal organs in the stretched ring, it is necessary to visualize the contents using ultrasound.

The day before the operation, the patient eats for the last time at 18:00 and takes a shower. If necessary, the medical staff can offer an enema and shave off the hair in the operated area.

Indications and contraindications

An umbilical hernia must be operated on sooner or later, but most patients expect a planned operation. There are several situations when a person needs emergency surgery:

• if there are signs of infringement of the hernia: an increase in local temperature and body temperature, pain in the area of ​​the hernial protrusion, the hernia does not reduce, it becomes tense and hard;
• with intestinal obstruction due to infringement: the patient has a digestive disorder in the form of constipation and, possibly, vomiting, severe pain may appear.

There are a number of comorbidities or conditions for which a hernia repair cannot be performed:

• pregnancy and the first months of lactation;
• acute infectious diseases;
• oncology;
• severe chronic diseases of organs and systems;
• age less than 5 years (except for congenital hernias) and more than 70 years;
• decompensated diabetes.

The cost of the operation and related services

The table shows the average prices in Russia for the listed medical events.

The difference between surgery in children

In children under five years of age, umbilical hernias close on their own, surgery at this age is necessary for infringement and large hernias. If the child is already 6 or more years old, there is only one treatment option - surgery.

It is important not to miss the complicated conditions of the umbilical hernia - when infringed, pain appears, the child is naughty and cries, does not allow touching the stomach, up to a painful shock. In this case, you must immediately contact a medical institution.

The operation takes place in a child as follows: the surgeon makes an incision below the navel, sets the internal organs, excises and stitches the hernial sac. The sutures are cosmetic. The operation takes no more than 40 minutes.

The recovery period is short - after 2 hours the baby can already get up, drink and eat. The next day, the child is discharged from the surgical hospital, after a week the bandage is removed.

Recovery after surgery

After removing the bandage or surgical sutures, a recovery period begins, which lasts several months. Rehabilitation is individual, takes a different amount of time, but is mandatory. In case of non-compliance with the recommendations, the risk of re-hernia increases dramatically.

Diet

In the first two days after the operation, you can eat only liquid food - broths, decoctions, compotes. In the following days during the week, eggs, vegetables, cereals are allowed in the diet. Food should be ground or crushed.

The patient's menu is gradually expanding, new dishes are introduced daily, but general recommendations should not be forgotten:

• eat often, in small portions;
• alcohol, smoked foods, strong coffee, carbonated drinks, fast food are strictly prohibited;
• consume less fatty dairy products;
• Eat fruits and vegetables daily, soup once or twice a day.

Bandage

The bandage should be worn for 1-2 months, as prescribed by the doctor. It is removed at the time of sleep or rest. During daily activities in an upright position or sitting, the bandage must be worn. The wearing time is also determined by the doctor, as its prolonged use will weaken the muscles.

Physiotherapy

The attending physician may prescribe:

• massotherapy;
• hirudotherapy;
• electrophoresis;
• current therapy.

exercise therapy

Therapeutic exercises should be performed when the patient's pain disappears and the surgical scar has already formed. The purpose of the exercises is to strengthen the muscle groups of the abdomen, buttocks and back. In addition to special movements, you need to do morning exercises for 20 minutes.

Note!

When recovering from surgery, exercise should not cause pain and discomfort. Do not do it through force, do not overstrain, do not be zealous, as this is dangerous with a relapse or divergence of the seams.

Postoperative complications

Like any operation, hernioplasty cannot exclude complications after the operation. They often appear when the operation was not performed as planned, and the patient was admitted urgently with signs of infringement. Complications can be divided into two groups:

• Early Complications
  • inflammation of the surgical wound, seroma,
  • temperature,
  • hematoma,
  • anesthesia-associated disorders of the organs,
  • intestinal obstruction.
• Late Complications
  • ileus associated with adhesions,
  • in men - infertility, dropsy,
  • hernia recurrence,
  • postoperative neuralgia (tingling and decreased sensation).

The causes of complications are excessive physical activity, diet and constipation, not using a bandage, coughing.

When an umbilical hernia appears, you should immediately seek medical help, without waiting for the development of complications. New methods of performing operations in a short time will help get rid of the problem, minimizing the risk of recurrent hernial protrusion.

An umbilical hernia operation is now one of the simplest surgical interventions. This is usually a planned procedure. In some cases, with a positive result, the patient can be at home in a few hours, a recovery and rehabilitation period is necessary.

Umbilical hernia after surgery- the issue is resolved, and most often, the patient no longer returns to this issue, but only if he behaves correctly in the recovery period.

Now surgery uses three main methods for removing an umbilical hernia:

• Installation of an implant;
• Mesh installation;
• Laparoscopy.

The last option is the most gentle, as it is carried out through punctures, and the patient will not have obvious sutures. But the doctor, based on the individual diagnosis of each patient, chooses one or another type of intervention.

The recovery period after laparoscopy is the easiest, and often the patient, after a few hours under the supervision of doctors, goes home.

If the operation consists of placing a mesh or an implant to support a weakened muscle wall, the patient must undergo a rehabilitation course in the clinic for about 5 to 7 days, depending on the condition.

For any type of operationumbilical hernia, rehabilitation after surgery necessary.

Postoperative period

1. Immediately after the end of the operation, after coming out of anesthesia, the patient is observed by the anesthesiologist and the attending physician who performed the operation.
2. During the first hours, it is necessary to observe bed rest, and minimal activity - the area with sutures must be motionless.
3. After the end of the operation, painkillers, antibiotics are prescribed, and if the doctor sees the relevance, physiotherapy.
4. If the operation was abdominal in nature, on the 2nd - 3rd day, after the examination, the doctor decides on permission to get up and move around. Most often, you will not be allowed to sit after this kind of intervention.
5. After umbilical hernia surgeryit is necessary to use a special device - a bandage. The doctor will personally recommend the size and type, most likely, he will do this before the operation, so that you have it with you right away.

Bandage after surgery

To prevent the release of the hernial sac, and reduce pressure on the suture area, it is necessarybandage after umbilical hernia surgery. This is an individual postoperative remedy, which is selected taking into account the physiological and operational characteristics.

The bandage can be both highly specialized and universal, and with the same operation for two patients, the doctor may prescribe the wearing of different devices.

You should not independently make a choice in favor of a particular model, or agree to use someone else's bandage. This is a very individual thing, since when choosing a doctor, he is based on several characteristics and features of the surgical intervention.

How long to wear a bandage after umbilical hernia surgery, at the first moment even the attending surgeon will not answer you, since the course of the recovery and rehabilitation period is different for each man.

Most likely, the wearing period will be from two months to six months, depending, again, on many conditions.

Activity in the postoperative period

Umbilical hernia after surgerywill disappear, but your lifestyle responsibility is a condition that the problem will not return.

On the first day or two after the operation, it is better to stay in bed and move as little as possible. Following the advice of a doctor, you can quickly recover.

From active movements, the sutures may diverge, the implant or mesh may be displaced. This threatens the patient with a second operation.

After 3-4 days, you are allowed to get up, perform some hygiene procedures. But, it is worth excluding such movements as:

• Incline;
• Squat;
• Lifting things from the floor;
• A sharp tilt from a lying position to a sitting state;
• Body turns;

Recovery after umbilical hernia surgerydepends on the first postoperative days - the more accurately the patient follows the doctor's orders, the faster and more painlessly the rehabilitation period will pass, and the return to the usual way of life.

Rehabilitation after umbilical hernia surgery in adults

7 days after the operation, as a rule, the stitches are removed and the patient is discharged from the hospital. Butrehabilitation after umbilical hernia surgery in menshould continue.

It is necessary to visit a doctor for dressings and examination. In no case should you do the dressing yourself, since the patient may not notice the slightest changes that an experienced surgeon will notice.

It is necessary to continue wearing the bandage, and remove it only after the permission of the doctor.based on the system:

• Proper physical activity to return to the usual way of life and condition;
• Proper nutrition in order to be careful about the sutures and the implant;
• Visiting a doctor for further advice and control.

Diet

Recovery after umbilical hernia surgery will be of high quality and fast if you follow the rules of nutrition for up to 3 months. This is exactly the period when the internal and external seams will no longer be at risk.

Diet after umbilical hernia surgery- a separate, very serious topic. Most patients, as soon as it becomes possible to move and choose their own food, they forget about caution.

Patients should knowwhat can i eat after umbilical hernia surgeryhow often to eat, and what foods are strictly prohibited in the early days.

It is important to know the basic rules of nutrition:

• Maintain a balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates;
• Give importance to fortified, wholesome food;
• Be sure to have liquid meals once a day;
• Monitor the emptying of the stomach, avoid constipation;
• Avoid alcohol and cigarettes, as the condition of the vessels is the main condition for a quick recovery.

Physical exercise

As soon as the patient leaves the walls of the hospital, an important stage begins.Rehabilitation after umbilical hernia in adults- a systematic approach to recovery and return to the usual way of life and work.

In the next three months, it is necessary to begin to increase the load, but within the permissible limits, without fanaticism. If you play sports, in no case do not return to the previous loads.

It is good if the patient consults with a physiotherapist, and he, on the basis of the doctor's opinion, will develop an individual recovery program.

1. The first exercises three months after the operation should be exercises in the supine position without pressure on the muscles of the abdomen and chest. Perform exercises without removing the corset.
2. Breathing exercises to strengthen the anterior wall of the abdomen are necessary before starting strength exercises.
3. Cardio workouts will help you get back in shape after a long period of static.

Proper exercise, diet, wearing a corset, giving up bad habits can shorten the periodrehabilitation of umbilical hernia in adults. The desire and serious attitude of the patient and the unquestioning fulfillment of the doctor's instructions are the main conditions for a quick return to work, sports, and the usual way of life.
