The most widely performed hernia surgery is the minimally invasive laparoscopic technique, which has the following four advantages over traditional surgery: Advantage 1: The recurrence rate is lower when inguinal hernia is treated with minimally invasive laparoscopic technique The recurrence rate is about 4/1000 when inguinal hernia is treated by open incision, while the recurrence rate is only about 1/2000 when laparoscopic treatment of hernia is performed. There are three areas in the human inguinal region that are prone to hernia formation: the hiatal hernia, the femoral hernia and the rectal hernia. Traditional open surgery can only repair 1-2 of these areas, and it is difficult to cover all of them in one operation. Therefore, it often happens in clinical practice that a patient has a hiatus hernia for the first time, has surgery, and after some time may have a straight hernia or a femoral hernia again, and they all seem to have a mass in the groin to the patient, so it is impossible to determine whether it is a recurrence or not, and the doctor can only determine it through surgery. In contrast, by using minimally invasive laparoscopic technology to treat inguinal hernia, all the three areas mentioned above can be repaired in one operation, and the probability of recurrence of masses in the groin is greatly reduced. Advantage 2: Minimally invasive laparoscopic technique can treat bilateral inguinal hernia at the same time, and can also explore the contralateral occult hernia and abdominal cavity Traditional open surgery to repair bilateral hernia will have two wounds, and if only one side develops and the other side does not know whether there is a hernia or not, open surgery is usually not chosen for exploration. The minimally invasive laparoscopic technique can not only treat bilateral hernias at the same time, but also explore whether there is a hidden hernia on the opposite side while treating a hernia on one side, and the laparoscope can also explore the condition of other organs in the abdominal cavity, such as the appendix and gallbladder, which cannot be done by open surgery. Advantage 3: Minimally invasive laparoscopic technology is unique in treating recurrent hernias. If a patient with an inguinal hernia is treated with open surgery for the first time, some tissues in the groin may be scarred, resulting in unclear tissue structure. When a recurrent hernia occurs, if traditional open surgery is used, it is likely that the hernia ring will not be found, causing tissue damage again. However, under laparoscopy, the surgeon can clearly see the hernia ring, which is easier to operate, and there is no scar after surgery, so the treatment of recurrent hernia is more effective. Advantage 4: Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery has small wounds and is suitable for obese people or diabetic patients Minimally invasive laparoscopic technique for inguinal hernia treatment has small surgical wounds that basically heal in 3-5 days after surgery. In children, the maximum wound diameter is only 12.5 px, and the healing ability of children is so strong that the scar is basically invisible afterwards; in adults, there is a 25 px wound on the belly button, which is basically invisible after healing because of the natural scar folds in the belly button. In addition, there are two small holes only 12.5px in diameter, slightly down the sides of the navel, after healing, basically invisible. Therefore, it is especially suitable for diabetic patients and obese people, or patients with wounds that do not heal easily. In summary, the minimally invasive laparoscopic technique for adult hernia has great advantages over traditional open surgery, including less trauma, lower recurrence rate, shorter hospital stay, faster postoperative recovery, and no interference with normal activities and work.
