Laparoscopic hernia repair is a modern, minimally invasive surgery that effectively treats hernias while offering a faster recovery time and reduced pain compared to traditional open surgery. This technique is ideal for patients looking for a solution that minimizes downtime and discomfort.
In laparoscopic hernia repair, small incisions are made in the abdomen, allowing a surgeon to insert a tiny camera and specialized surgical tools. This camera, called a laparoscope, provides a detailed view of the hernia, enabling precise repair with minimal impact on surrounding tissues. A mesh is often used to strengthen the area and prevent future hernia recurrence.

This procedure is suitable for most individuals diagnosed with inguinal, umbilical, or incisional hernias. However, the best candidates are those without severe complications or contraindications, such as certain medical conditions. A thorough consultation with an experienced surgeon, like Dr. Sandeep Singh, will determine if laparoscopic hernia repair is the best option for your condition.
