In addition to mesh-reinforced procedures, mesh-free operations are still firmly established. These include, in particular, the proven Shouldice technique (suture procedure) and the Desarda procedure, in which the body’s own tissue is used for stabilization. <\/p>\n
We prefer to use the minimally invasive TEP method (total extraperitoneal hernia repair) as the standard procedure with mesh. The mesh is gently inserted outside the abdominal cavity. This procedure enables rapid recovery and is particularly advantageous and recommended by guidelines for bilateral hernias and for women. <\/p>\n
We also regularly perform open procedures such as the Lichtenstein operation and the TIPP procedure (open, pre-peritoneal mesh implantation).<\/p>\n
Together with you, we decide in a personal consultation which procedure is most suitable for you. You benefit from modern equipment, extensive experience and individually tailored treatment.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”left-right” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_color=”#324783″ column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Treatment options<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_wp_custommenu nav_menu=”9″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_margin=”75″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_global_section id=”1969″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#324783″ scene_position=”center” top_padding=”50″ text_color=”light” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” class=”behandlungsspektrum-header” disable_element=”yes” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-left” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n The standard operation with mesh is the so-called TEP (total extraperitoneal herniotomy), in which a mesh is inserted minimally invasively into the abdominal wall. We prefer this variant of endoscopic inguinal hernia repair because we do not have to intervene in the abdominal cavity with this method. This procedure is also superior to other procedures for bilateral inguinal hernias. The international guidelines for hernia surgery recommend this procedure especially for women.<\/p>\n We also frequently perform the Lichtenstein procedure at our center. This procedure is the best-studied open procedure for treating an inguinal hernia. The so-called TIPP procedure (transinguinal preperitoneal), the open version of TEP, is also part of our daily treatment spectrum.<\/p>\n We promise to determine the most suitable surgical procedure for you in consultation with you. You can rely on state-of-the-art equipment and many years of experience in the treatment of hernias.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”left-right” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_color=”#324783″ column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Further operations<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_wp_custommenu nav_menu=”9″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#324783″ bg_image=”2319″ bg_image_type=”default” bg_position=”center center” background_image_loading=”default” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”50″ text_color=”light” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” class=”behandlungsspektrum-header” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":2184,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2143","page","type-page","status-publish"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hernienzentrumkoeln.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hernienzentrumkoeln.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hernienzentrumkoeln.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hernienzentrumkoeln.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hernienzentrumkoeln.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2143"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/hernienzentrumkoeln.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2143\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2388,"href":"https:\/\/hernienzentrumkoeln.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2143\/revisions\/2388"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hernienzentrumkoeln.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2184"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hernienzentrumkoeln.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Inguinal hernia<\/h1>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”100″ bottom_padding=”50″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” disable_element=”yes” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1772231664282{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}” text_direction=”default”]Inguinal hernia operations are the most frequently performed procedures at our center. We offer all common procedures for the treatment of inguinal hernias. Non-networked processes are also still very important. For mesh-free procedures, we offer the standard Shouldice procedure and the Desarda procedure. In the Shouldice procedure, the inguinal hernia is treated with a suture; in the Desarda procedure, the body’s own tissue is used to reinforce the inguinal canal.<\/p>\n
