Inguinal Hernia Surgery in Bengaluru

Hernia repair surgery begins with general anesthesia being administered to the patient. Small incisions are then created on the abdominal area for inserting a laparoscope for viewing the abdomen and the hernia affecting the body. Other small instruments are inserted inside the body through the incisions for repairing the inguinal hernia. A mesh like patch is placed over the hernia and is sealed with staples to keep it in place. The incisions made are very minute and so the surgery is also referred to as keyhole surgery.

There are certain advantages that a laparoscopic inguinal surgery has over other treatment methods for hernia repair. Few of them are as follows:

• Less pain - The laparoscopic hernia repair type induces lesser amount of pain and is hence preferable over other procedures.
• Outpatient procedure - Laparoscopic hernia repair surgery gives the freedom of returning to routine work the same day to people undergoing it.
• Recurring hernia - Recurring hernia is possible to be repaired using laparascopic method than using open surgery.
• Second hernia - It is possible to check for and repair a second hernia on the opposite side at the time of the operation.
• Small incisions - Incisions made are of very small size and so this technique becomes more preferable.
• Lower recurrence rate - This type of method when used for hernia repair is gainful for patient, as chances of hernia happening again are very less.
