Question

Why does a hernia repair necessitate an instrument count?

Do all hernia repairs necessitate a count?

Answer 1

Instrument count and stradardization is a procedure to be done before wound closure. Some hernis repair involves surgery to push in the bulge tissue and to strengthen the abdominal wall that is supported with suture where instrument count is mandate. It can be done either by open surgery or by laparoscopic surgery.

No all hernis repairs need surgery and count. Some can be corrected by yoga involves tree pose, single leg raise with movement, and leg crossing found to be beneficial in taking any pressure off the abdominal and so help in correcting hernia without a surgery. Surgery will not be done until the hernia bothers!
