Laparoscopic Hernia Repair
A laparoscopic hernia repair is basically a minimally invasive surgical procedure used in repair of most types of hernia. A hernia is caused when the internal organs or tissues bulge out and can be seen straining against the abdominal wall noticeably.
Hernias are seen in various parts of the body such as abdomen, diaphragm, groin, brain and at previous surgery sites. Many different methods are used to treat or repair hernia including hernioplasty, herniorrhaphy and herniotomy although laparoscopic hernia repair is still considered to be most convenient and efficient than other traditional hernia repair methods.
A laparoscopic hernia repair procedure is used to treat various types of hernias such as umbilical hernia, femoral hernia, inguinal hernia, etc.
How is Laparoscopic Hernia Repair surgery performed?
A hernia repair surgery is to correct the abnormal bulge caused by bulging internal organ or tissue accumulation. The hernia repair may be performed using the more conventional open-type surgical method which is more time-consuming and extensive. The latest technique in repairing hernias is the minimally invasive surgical method known as 'laparoscopic hernia repair surgery'.
The laparoscopic hernia repair surgery is similar to other minimally invasive procedures. The surgery requires administering general anesthesia to the patient. A very small (keyhole) incision is made in the navel or just below it. The surgeon will fill carbon dioxide gas in the abdominal cavity through this incision in order to inflate it and get a better view of all the abdominal organs and tissues.
A thin and flexible tube (laparoscope) is inserted from this keyhole incision. This laparoscope is initially fitted with a cold light-source and a video camera at its end so the surgeon can get a good visual of the abdominal organs and tissues on the video monitor. The surgeon then uses specialized tiny surgical instruments attached to similar flexible tubes to perform the surgical procedure. This involves the surgeon repairing the hernia by pushing it back to its original position and preventing the bulging of the organ or the herniated tissue. After shifting the herniated tissue back into its original position the surgeon will use a surgical mesh to be fixed over the previously herniated tissue to prevent it from bulging out again in the future.
A laparoscopic hernia repair is known to be considerably less painful and also decreases the amount of time spent in the hospital as well as the recovery period.
Why is a Laparoscopic Hernia Repair required?
A laparoscopic hernia repair is one of the more convenient and efficient methods of repairing herniated organs and tissues, especially in the abdominal region. A surgical repair is required for painful hernias including strangulated or incarcerated hernias. For children with inguinal hernias a surgery is the most ideal treatment method.
