Hernias are classified as direct and indirect hernias. They do not go away on their own. If they grow on the intestine, it can be fatal. A Laparoscopic Inguinal surgery is recommended by your doctor in the following circumstances:

• Pain experienced: Pain experienced during lifting heavy objects makes the doctor prescribe an inguinal surgery.
• Lumps: Lumps forming in groin and causing a considerable amount of pain indicate that an inguinal surgery is what could cure the hernia.
• Repeat surgery: At times when previous surgery for repairing the inguinal hernia fails to have the expected effect or the mesh for sealing the hernia during operation is done in an incorrect way, then a repeat surgery becomes a must.
• Incisional hernia: In case of incisional hernia, wherein the incision pokes out few days post surgery, the laparoscopic method is considered more suitable and is recommended for revision.
