Innovative surgical method: inguinal hernia almost without scars in Elisabethinen!

In the Elisabethinen Hospital in Klagenfurt, a groundbreaking method for the treatment of inguinal breaks is offered that revolutionizes the surgical process. Many people, especially men, suffer a hernia in the course of their lives, in which abdominal contents penetrate through a weak point in the abdominal wall. The new * Minimal Incision Laparoscopic Surgery * (MILS) TAPP method now enables surgical interventions with a minimal access of only 2.9 millimeters. This means less surgical trauma and a significant reduction in postoperative pain, as the senior senior physician of general surgery, Andreas Grün, explains. According to reports from ORF Kärnten , around 60 percent of the patients are eligible for this innovative method, whereby above all thinner people benefit because the instruments used are shorter.

Thanks to this new technology, the intervention remains almost scarred, and the lower invasiveness enables the patient to go home often on the same day. This progress in operational treatment is positively reflected in the quality of life of the patients because they can quickly return to their everyday life. A proof of the success of the method is the Klagenfurter Erwin Abraham, who now reports after multiple inguinal hernia operations of a pain-free and scar-free course. Andreas Green also emphasizes that the procedure also significantly reduces the complications rate, such as trokar hernia and chronic pain, which is confirmed by The introduction of this method is not only a technical progress, but also an important development for patient care in the hospital. The Elisabethinen hospital has thus established itself as a pioneer in Austrian hernia surgery and, in addition to operational care, also offers specialized consultation hours in order to offer affected patients comprehensive advice and individual treatment options.
