Laparoscopic hernia repair
During the procedure, small incisions are made in the abdominal wall, through which a camera and specialized instruments are inserted. The surgeon uses the camera to visualize the hernia and surrounding tissues on a monitor while repairing the hernia with mesh or sutures. This approach offers advantages such as reduced scarring, less postoperative pain, and a quicker recovery compared to traditional open hernia surgery. Laparoscopic hernia repair is commonly used for inguinal, ventral, and hiatal hernias, providing effective and less invasive treatment options for patients.
