Minimally invasive laparoscopic hernia repair

  Inguinal hernias are commonly known as “hernias” and include straight, hiatal and femoral hernias. Adult hernias are not self-healing and surgery is the only effective treatment. Open surgery is performed through a 6-200 px incision in the inguinal region, while laparoscopic surgery involves making three small 0.5-37.5 px holes in the lower abdominal wall to return the hernia sac into the abdominal cavity and covering the herniated gap with artificial mesh. This approach covers both the weak and defective areas where hiatal, ventral and femoral hernias tend to occur, reducing the hernia recurrence rate to 0.1%. Minimally invasive laparoscopic hernia repair has a small wound, mild postoperative pain, quick recovery, and little chance of wound infection, so that the patient can go home the day after surgery and return to work 1-2 weeks after surgery. The laparoscopic minimally invasive hernia repair is preferred for elderly patients whose medical condition allows it, especially for bilateral hernia and recurrent hernia.  In addition, laparoscopic hernia repair can also be chosen for other umbilical hernias, incisional hernias, surgical recurrent hernias, white line hernias, etc.
