Complete minimally invasive surgery for small bowel hernia

Minimally invasive small bowel hernia surgery generally has three steps: perforation, laparoscopic manipulation, and suturing of the incision to repair the hernia sac. 1. Perforation Two small 5-mm holes are made on both sides of the patient’s umbilicus, and one small 1-cm hole is made in the umbilicus. 2. Laparoscopic operation of the abdominal cavity (1) Inflate. Carbon dioxide-based gas is inflated into the abdomen to inflate it and facilitate intra-abdominal operation. (2) Observation. Poke the laparoscope into the small hole in the umbilicus, and then put the operating forceps into the remaining 2 small holes to view the inguinal situation through the laparoscope and find the hernia sac. (3) Displacement. Displacing the hernia sac contents, small bowel, back into the abdominal cavity. (4) Closure. A patch is placed over the notch, and then the patch and notch are sewn together with a crochet hook with thread through an operating forceps. (5) Aspiration. Aspirate the gas out of the abdominal cavity and remove the laparoscope and operating forceps. 3. Suture the incision Close the incision with absorbable or silk suture. Minimally invasive surgery for small bowel hernia through laparoscopy reduces postoperative pain and speeds up postoperative recovery of patients, while plummeting the chance of incision infection.
