USA Patient’s Experience about Hernia Surgery Delhi India

Carol Mitchell a USA patient describes about her Hernia Surgery and her stay in Delhi India.

” Carol Mitchell who came to India for the Hernia Surgery in Delhi. She is a resident of United Kingdom. She was treated by the team of Centre for Hernia Support. I am so thankful to have planned my hernia surgery with Dheeraj Bojwani and Indian Health Guru Consultants. Infact I was a bit hesitant initially to travel to India for this and I asked so many questions to Dheeraj. But he was always there for me, answering all my queries and helping me every time. He came to meet me at the Hospital and checked out all the services being provided to me. I was very overwhelmed from the long flight when I reached India, but gradually as things settled down I knew this was the righteous decision. The people I have been treated by, the nursing staff, the domestic staff, everybody without exception has been delightful and I am very conscious of their efforts to make my stay a happy one.   My outcome was wonderful and much better than my best expectation. When I return to the USA, when I have the opportunity, I will recommend Indian Health Guru Consultants to everyone seeking Hernia surgery in India.

 Procedure of Internal Urethrotomy Surgery:

 The urinary bladder will be emptied using a suprapubic catheter before the Internal Urethrotomy to prevent urinary tract infection. Patient will lie on his back on the operating table with legs wide apart. Internal Urethrotomy is performed in a hospital setting under general anesthesia. A special cystoscope (tube that doctor can look through) is placed within the urethra while patient are asleep. The scar tissue is inspected and then a small knife is carefully placed at the scar through the cystoscope which is then incised until the scarred area is open, up to the size of the rest of patient’s urethra. A catheter is left in place for about 2-10 days (sometimes longer) to permit the lining of the urethra to being to heal the raw area inside. 

Benefits of Internal Urethrotomy Surgery:

 Internal Urethrotomy relieves pain and discomfort during voiding, relieves decreased flow of urine i.e. restores the normal stream of urine and need to urinate frequently. Internal Urethrotomy can also reduce patient’s risk of getting orchitis, prostatitis or recurrent urinary tract infection 

Recovery after the surgery of Internal Urethrotomy:

A catheter is left in place for approximately 2-10 days. There is usually minimal discomfort but there will be medication ordered if needed. Antibiotics will be prescribed for the healing period. After removal of the catheter, there may be some bleeding for several days (not very much), but patient should be able to urinate without much difficulty. Patient should refrain from strenuous activity and sexual intercourse for two (2) weeks and drink plenty of fluids during the healing.
