  Understanding Laparoscopic Hernia Repair Surgery

  
  

  Reviewed by Dr. Valeria Simone MD (Southlake General Surgery, Texas)

  
  

  Hernias on the abdominal wall can be repaired using a surgical technique called laparoscopic hernia repair surgery. This is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. During this process, the patient’s abdomen will be punctured with a few tiny holes to make room for the insertion of a thin, lighted tube known as a laparoscope.

  
  

  The laparoscope gives the surgeon an enlarged view of the interior anatomy, which enables them to make accurate repairs to the hernia while causing the least amount of damage to the tissue around it. It is common practice to execute the operation while the patient is under general anesthesia. Following the procedure, the patient will normally only need to spend a short duration of time in the hospital and will recover in a reasonably short amount of time.

  
  

  What is the purpose of Laparoscopic Hernia Repair Surgery?

  
  

  Repairing the injured muscular wall of the abdominal cavity is the primary goal of laparoscopic hernia repair, as this allows the hernia to be treated with minimal disruption to the surrounding tissue.

  
  

  Complications, such as bowel blockage, can arise from hernias because they impede the regular functioning of the abdominal muscles. The hernia can be repaired using minimally invasive surgery, which means the patient will experience less pain and discomfort after surgery and have a quicker recovery time.

  
  

  If a patient has one of these hernias, laparoscopic repair may be an option:

  
  

  
  
  • Inguinal hernia
  
  
  • Hiatal Hernia
  
  
  • Umbilical Hernia
  
  
  • Ventral Hernia
  
  

  
  

  In addition to preventing potentially fatal complications, laparoscopic hernia surgery lessens the likelihood that the hernia may return in the future. Furthermore, it is frequently prescribed to people who are at high risk for developing a hernia.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  How is the laparoscopic hernia repair performed?

  
  

  In most cases, a laparoscopic hernia surgery takes between one and two hours to finish. The patient will be carefully watched during this period to make sure they are both safe and comfortable.

  
  

  During laparoscopic surgery, the patient is put to sleep under general anesthesia, and the surgeon makes a series of tiny incisions to introduce the laparoscope and other surgical tools. The laparoscope allows the surgeon a magnified view of the inside anatomy, allowing for more accurate hernia surgeries.

  
  

  After the treatment is complete, the incisions are sutured shut and a bandage is placed over the wound.

  
  

  How to get ready for a Laparoscopic Hernia Repair?

  
  

  Before undergoing a laparoscopic hernia repair treatment, it is essential for the patient to consult with their physician regarding their previous medical history as well as any drugs that they may currently be taking.

  
  

  Alterations to the patient’s diet and lifestyle may also be recommended by the attending physician in the days leading up to the operation.

  
  

  It’s also crucial to follow the attending doctor’s orders when conducting any tests or making any preparations before the surgery.

  
  

  The patient should also keep in mind that they may be requested to fast before the treatment, and they should avoid taking any aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications for at least one week prior to the date that they are scheduled to have surgery.

  
  

  What are the risk factors with Laparoscopic Hernia Repair Surgery?

  
  

  Recurrence of the hernia and potentially fatal consequences can be lessened with laparoscopic hernia repair. It is possible to repair hernias with this surgery, which is both secure and efficient.

  
  

  However, like other surgical procedures, laparoscopic hernia surgery is not without its share of potential complications. That include:

  
  

  
  
  • infection
  
  
  • internal bleeding
  
  
  • injury to nerves
  
  
  • damage to the organs
  
  

  
  

  All the above are the nearby potential outcomes of this risk. In addition, there is a possibility that scarring will occur after the treatment, and there is also a possibility that the hernia could return.

  
  

  How can laparoscopic hernia repair help?

  
  

  To treat a variety of hernias with minimal disturbance to surrounding tissue, laparoscopic hernia surgery is an effective and safe option.

  
  

  Laparoscopic hernia repair has many benefits over open hernia surgery, such as:

  
  

  
  
  • a quicker recovery time
  
  
  • less post-operative pain
  
  
  • little scarring
  
  
  • lower risk of recurrence
  
  
  • lower risk of life-threatening complications
  
  

  
  

  In addition, laparoscopic hernia surgery can be utilized as a prophylactic strategy in patients who are at risk for hernia development.

  
  

  In general terms, laparoscopic hernia repair is a safe and successful method of treating hernias with minimal disruption to the surrounding tissue.

  
  

  Treatment after Laparoscopic Hernia Repair

  
  

  Following the completion of the laparoscopic hernia repair process, the patient will normally remain in the recovery room for a short period of time.
