Advantages of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair

  In recent years, the use of laparoscopic techniques to repair inguinal hernias has become the gold standard in the treatment of inguinal hernias, and more and more doctors and patients are choosing this surgical option. So what are the advantages of laparoscopic techniques over traditional open surgical approaches?  Here, I will talk about my experience from my own experience.  1, postoperative pain is mild: traditional open surgery patients often pain is obvious, often need to inject painkillers within 3 days after surgery, still have pain about 1 week after surgery; and laparoscopic surgery patients pain is mild, after surgery most do not need to inject painkillers; 2, postoperative recovery is fast: traditional surgery patients need about a week before discharge, at least about 2 weeks to resume basic activities; and laparoscopic surgery patients can be discharged in 2-3 days, discharge from the hospital. This is especially important for young people who need to resume normal work or life as soon as possible; 3, postoperative stress is mild: after traditional surgery, patients often increase the burden on the heart, lungs and other organs due to pain and other stimuli; laparoscopic surgery often does not increase the burden on the heart and lungs and other organs, which is especially beneficial for the elderly, especially for patients with poor function of the heart and lungs; 4, laparoscopic surgery is a good idea. 4. cosmetic effect: traditional open surgery requires an incision of about 7-8 CM in the inguinal region, while laparoscopic surgery only requires three small incisions of 0.5-1.0 CM in the abdominal wall, with significant cosmetic effect; 5. laparoscopic surgery for bilateral inguinal hernia does not require additional incisions, so it can achieve twice the effect with half the effort; 6. recurrent hernia can avoid the original surgical incision and make the operation simpler; 7. Laparoscopic surgery can treat inguinal hernia and other diseases such as gallbladder stones and varicocele at the same time in one operation.  The above talked about the advantages of laparoscopic surgery for inguinal hernia for the reference of patients.
