تجربة مريض: ناحية بالجراحة المفتوحة وناحية بالمنظار‏ | Patient Story: Open Repair on One Side, Laparoscopic on the Other‎

مقارنة من نفس المريض‏ | One Patient, Two Techniques‎

مريض عمل إصلاح فتق إربي في ناحية بالجراحة المفتوحة، وبعد حوالي سنتين ظهر له فتق في الناحية التانية واتصلّح بالمنظار مع د. محمد حسام زيدان، فبيقارن بين التجربتين بنفسه. بعد الجراحة المفتوحة قعد حوالي شهر ونص خايف يحرّك رجله، وصلّى على كرسي 3 شهور، ولسه بيشتكي من ألم في الناحية القديمة. أما بعد المنظار، ما حسّش بألم غير من البلاستر، وصلّى واقف تاني يوم، وروّح من المستشفى ماشي، وما عندوش أي شكوى في الناحية الجديدة.‏ | A patient who had open repair of an inguinal hernia on one side, and about two years later laparoscopic repair of a hernia on the other side by Dr. Mohamed H. Zidan, compares the two from his own experience. After open surgery he spent about six weeks afraid to move his leg, prayed sitting on a chair for three months, and still has pain on that side. After laparoscopy he felt no pain apart from the dressing tape, prayed standing the next day, walked out of the hospital, and has no complaints on the new side.‎

Full Transcript

Dr. Zidan: I wanted to talk with you. You came to us with an inguinal hernia on one side that had been repaired with traditional open surgery, and we did the other side for you. It appeared about a year and a bit later? How long?

Patient: About two years, minus a month.

Dr. Zidan: And we did it laparoscopically. What's your view of the difference on the second side?

Patient: After the open surgery, I spent about a month and a half with people thinking I was half-paralyzed, because I was walking around afraid to move my leg, really.

Dr. Zidan: I even told you the worst pain would certainly be on the second day after the operation and in the first week.

Patient: There was no pain.

Dr. Zidan: How did the pain feel?

Patient: There was no pain. I was only bothered by the dressing tape. I swear, on the second day I tried praying, and then I asked you whether I should pray normally or not, and you told me to carry on, so I prayed normally. But after the open surgery I prayed on a chair for three months; I was afraid to pray standing.

Dr. Zidan: Okay. On the third day, when you went home from the hospital, how did you go?

Patient: Walking.

Dr. Zidan: How far did you walk?

Patient: About half a kilometer.

Dr. Zidan: Did you feel any sudden pain or discomfort?

Patient: No, no, not at all.

Dr. Zidan: Okay. It's been about two years since the first side was done with open surgery, right?

Patient: Yes.

Dr. Zidan: Do you have any complaints on that side?

Patient: The old one or the new one?

Dr. Zidan: The old one.

Patient: Yes, to this day it's the old side that hurts; the new one has nothing.

Dr. Zidan: Thank God you're well.

Patient: God keep you safe, God bless you.
