Simple Epigastric Hernia Repair - Moutain of Motehill in In Nigeria Medical Practice

 

Dear compatriots:

A relative has Epigastric Hernia and her surgeon just confirmed
operation for the coming Tuesday Morning in one of the Nigerian
Leading Hospitals.

Among other things, the surgeon said the following:

1. General Anesthesia will be administered
2. Hospitalization to last about 5 days
3. Permanent restriction on range of activities is more likely than
otherwise subsequent to the surgery.
4. Minimal activities recommended in the next 4 weeks following the surgery.

Visiting the website of The British Hernia Centre (www.hernia.org), I
understand that all the above are avoidable based on their experience
performing thousands of such surgery annually.

Furthermore, British Hernia Centre says the following:

1. Their patients can begin climbing stairs 45 minutes after the
surgery. They even advise "Light Jogging commencing Next Day after
surgery".

2. Most of their patients don't need pain killers after surgery.

3. Recurrence rate under 1% unlike 5-15% in most other institutions.
They are so sure that they offer Lifetime Warranty to all Patients.

If indeed true, I'll love to consider how to ensure the patient gets
the benefits of these claims.

A bigger question is how come, a seemingly simple operation as
described by The British Hernia Centre, can be so dangerous if
performed in Nigeria. So simple that The British Hernia Centre has
zero fatality in "2 decades and tens of thousands of surgery".
Another question for another day.

I hope there is anyone on the forum that is properly positioned to
help confirm the authenticity of these claims of the British Hernia
Centre located at 87 Watford Way, London, England, NW4 4RS Tel: Work

Thank you for your cooperation.

With kind regards.

Hakeem Bakare.
