Laparoscopic Hernia Repair

Laparoscopic hernia repair is performed through small abdominal incisions using a camera and specialised instruments. The weakened area is repaired, usually with surgical mesh, to reinforce the abdominal wall. This approach may be suitable for groin, recurrent, bilateral and selected abdominal-wall hernias. Potential advantages include smaller incisions, reduced postoperative discomfort and earlier return to routine activities. The most appropriate technique—laparoscopic or open—is selected according to the hernia’s location, size, complexity and the patient’s overall health.
