The emergence of minimally invasive surgical techniques represented by laparoscopy is a milestone event in the history of surgery and has brought about revolutionary changes. Many surgeries that previously required large incisions can now be done laparoscopically, with treatment results comparable to or better than traditional open surgery, while surgical trauma is significantly reduced, with less pain and faster recovery for patients and much better long-term quality of life. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is also a major direction in the development of hernia surgery. Compared to traditional open surgery, the most intuitive experience of patients is that the incision is small and not in the more tense inguinal region, but in the more relaxed mid-abdomen, so that postoperative pain is mild, pain medication is not needed in most cases, patients recover faster, and there are almost no incision-related complications such as incisional infections, bleeding, hematoma formation, etc. In the long term, laparoscopic scars are minimal or almost invisible, resulting in good aesthetics. In terms of disease outcome, laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is more extensive than conventional open surgery and operates under direct vision, resulting in a more definitive repair. In terms of recurrence rate, the results of laparoscopic surgery are at least equivalent to open surgery.
