Hernia occurs when an organ or tissue exits through the wall of the cavity in which it originally stays. When the hernia grows larger and causes pain it can be treated only with surgery. Laparoscopy surgery is an effective surgical practice to fix a hernia. This surgery is usually done to treat; bilateral inguinal hernias, recurrent hernia, and ventral hernias. This surgery provides speedy recovery and hence has become a preferable alternative to athletics in case of hernia.
Laparoscopic hernia repair is very similar to other laparoscopic procedures. The procedure is done under general anesthesia and a small cut is made in or just below the navel. The abdomen is overblown with air so that the surgeon can observe the abdominal organs. A thin laparoscope is inserted through the cut. The instruments to repair the hernia are inserted through other small cuts in the lower abdomen. Mesh is then placed over the defect to support the abdominal wall.
