Doctors do not recommend minimally invasive surgery for hernias, mostly because the patient does not meet the indications for minimally invasive surgery. Hernias are organs or tissues that leave the normal anatomical site and enter another part of the body through a congenital or acquired weak point, defect or orifice, mostly in the abdomen. The indications and contraindications for minimally invasive surgery vary depending on the type and location of the hernia. Some patients are older, or have a history of lower abdominal surgery, severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, pulmonary diseases, and inability to tolerate general anesthesia, etc., and are not suitable for minimally invasive surgical treatment. Some patients have large hernias that make minimally invasive surgery more difficult, so the surgeon may recommend traditional open surgery. However, as long as the patient meets the indications for minimally invasive surgery, the doctor will usually recommend minimally invasive surgery. For example, compared with traditional open surgery, minimally invasive surgery is less traumatic for patients. For bilateral inguinal hernia repair, especially for multiple recurrent or occult hernias, laparoscopic surgery is more advantageous, with less postoperative pain, lower recurrence rate and no local pulling sensation, and faster postoperative recovery.
