Laparoscopic Hernia Repair
Minimally Invasive Surgery for Hernia Treatment

Overview:

Laparoscopic hernia repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat inguinal hernias, umbilical hernias, or ventral hernias. A hernia occurs when a portion of an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. This surgery uses small incisions and a camera (laparoscope) to guide the surgeon, leading to a faster recovery and reduced risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery.

When is Laparoscopic Hernia Repair Needed?

A hernia may require surgical repair if:

  • It causes persistent pain or discomfort
  • It grows in size over time
  • It leads to complications such as strangulation (when blood supply to the herniated tissue is cut off)
  • It interferes with normal activity or causes a noticeable bulge

Benefits of Laparoscopic Hernia Repair:

  • Smaller incisions: Only a few small cuts instead of a large incision, resulting in minimal scarring.
  • Reduced pain: Compared to traditional open surgery.
  • Faster recovery: Most patients can return to normal activities in 1–2 weeks.
  • Lower risk of infection: Due to the small size of incisions.
  • Outpatient procedure: Most patients can go home the same day of surgery.
  • Fewer complications: Lower rates of wound infections and recurrence of the hernia.

Procedure:

  1. Anesthesia: General anesthesia is administered, so the patient is asleep during the surgery.
  2. Small Incisions: The surgeon makes 3–4 small incisions in the abdomen.
  3. Laparoscope: A camera is inserted through one of the incisions to help the surgeon visualize the hernia.
  4. Hernia Repair: The surgeon uses specialized instruments to push the bulging tissue back into place and reinforces the weakened area with mesh.
  5. Closing Incisions: The small incisions are closed with sutures or staples.

Recovery and Postoperative Care:

  • Hospital Stay: The procedure is usually done as a day-care procedure, meaning most patients can go home the same day.
  • Activity: Rest for the first few days, and avoid lifting heavy objects or strenuous exercise for at least 4–6 weeks.
  • Diet: A normal diet can be resumed after the procedure, but it’s important to avoid constipation, which can put pressure on the healing hernia site.
  • Follow-up: A follow-up appointment is typically scheduled within a week to ensure proper healing.
  • Pain Management: Mild to moderate pain is common and can be managed with prescribed pain relievers.

Possible Risks and Complications:

Though laparoscopic hernia repair is considered safe, potential risks include:

  • Infection at the incision site
  • Bleeding
  • Injury to surrounding organs or structures
  • Recurrence of the hernia
  • Blood clots or deep vein thrombosis (rare)
