تجربة مريضة: إصلاح الفتق الجراحي في جنب البطن بالشبكة | Patient Story: Flank Incisional Hernia Repair with Mesh
تجربة مريضة من ليبيا | A Patient's Story from Libya
زوج إحدى مريضاتنا من ليبيا بيحكي تجربتهم مع فتق جراحي (Incisional hernia) في الجنب الشمال من البطن، في مكان عملية قديمة من حوالي 10–12 سنة. استشاروا أكتر من دكتور وكل واحد قال كلام مختلف، لحد ما اتنصحوا بد. محمد حسام زيدان، واتأكد التشخيص في الكشف واتعملت العملية. د. زيدان بيشرح إن المنظار تعافيه عادةً أسرع، لكن الفتق اللي في جنب البطن نسبة ارتجاعه أعلى ومحتاج الشبكة تتحط في أكتر من طبقة، فكان الإصلاح المفتوح هو الاختيار الأنسب ليها. الألم بدأ يخف تدريجيًا بعد أول 10 أيام تقريبًا، وبعد حوالي 45–50 يوم هي بخير وبتقول إن العملية كانت أخف من عمليات تانية عملتها قبل كده. | The husband of one of our patients from Libya describes her incisional hernia: a bulge on the left side of her abdomen at the site of an operation done 10–12 years earlier. They saw several doctors and heard different explanations before being referred to Dr. Mohamed H. Zidan, who confirmed the hernia and repaired it. Dr. Zidan explains that laparoscopy usually means a faster recovery, but flank (lateral) hernias carry a higher recurrence risk and need mesh placed in more than one layer, so open repair was the better choice for her. Her pain eased gradually after the first 10 days or so, and 45–50 days later she is doing well and says this operation felt lighter than others she has had.

First of all, it has been an honour to know you. You are truly a respectful, kind person — a good human being before being a doctor.
Thank you.
About 10 or 12 years ago my wife had an operation, and she started complaining of a bulge on her left side, where that operation had been done. One doctor would say the muscles are weak, another would say something else, so we consulted several people until someone told me to go to Dr. Mohamed Zidan, the surgeon. Honestly, that man was like a gift, because he is the one who guided us to you. We came to you, you examined my wife, and she did have a hernia at the site of the surgery, and we had the operation done by you. Honestly: an excellent doctor, excellent knowledge and excellent manners.
Thank you.
I wanted to ask you: how was the recovery after the operation?
Of course the recovery was hard at first, because we did it as open surgery. After about 10 days the pain started to ease gradually and her movement became normal, and getting up and about on her own came after about 3 or 4 weeks.
As I told you before the operation, laparoscopy is definitely better and recovery is much faster, but sometimes we need to do certain operations. With hernias on the side of the abdomen, unfortunately the recurrence rate is high, so we need to place the mesh in several layers. Laparoscopy would have meant working through multiple layers, which would have made the operation longer and harder, so we had to do it as open surgery.
Thank God, it has now been about 45 to 50 days. I had a laparoscopic operation before, and the surgery you did was easier than that laparoscopy, and much lighter than many operations I have had. Honestly, thank God.
It has been an honour to know you, doctor.
The honour is mine.
