About Hernia Repair (Inguinal, Laparoscopic)
Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair uses mesh to reinforce the weakened area of the abdominal wall where tissue or intestine protrudes. It is one of the most common surgeries performed worldwide. Laparoscopic repair allows faster recovery than open surgery.
What to Expect
Under general anaesthesia, 3 small incisions are made. A camera and instruments are inserted. Mesh is placed over the hernia defect to reinforce the abdominal wall. Surgery takes 45–90 minutes. Most patients go home the same day or stay one night.
