What is Laparoscopic abdominal hernia repair?
Laparoscopic hernia repair is a simple, low-risk procedure in which doctors use a thin camera and small equipment to repair a hernia via tiny cuts in the abdomen.. This surgery is normally performed under general sedation, so before the medical procedure, you will have an assessment of your general condition of wellbeing, including a history, physical test (and potentially lab work) and an electrocardiogram (ECG).
There will be no discomfort throughout the surgery. The laparoscope is linked to a tiny camera—smaller than a dime—that displays a clear image of the inside of your body on monitors in the operating room.
Procedure
Laparoscopic abdominal hernia repair is a minimally invasive treatment. The procedure starts by inflating the belly with carbon dioxide gas. This offers a working area where the surgeon can clearly see the internal anatomy. After that a small incision is made around the umbilicus (belly button). Through this incision, the surgeon inserts a thin, telescope-like tool known as a laparoscope. The laparoscope has a tiny camera that displays real-time images on a monitor. These images help the surgeon through the procedure.
Once inside, the surgeon carefully identifies the weak spot in the abdominal wall. In the next step the peritoneum (the abdomen's inner lining) is carefully sliced to reveal the hernia defect. A synthetic mesh is subsequently placed across the damaged area to strengthen the abdominal wall and keep the hernia from recurring. The mesh is held in place with surgical staples, sutures, or adhesive.
After completing the repair, the surgeon closes the small incisions with stitches or surgical tape. Since the incisions are minimal, scarring is usually very mild and becomes barely noticeable within a few months.
