Inguinal Hernia Repair Done By Laparoscope
An Inguinal Hernia Repair Done By Laparoscope is a minimally invasive procedure used to repair an inguinal hernia. The procedure uses a thin, tube-like instrument called a laparoscope (with a camera attached) to repair the inguinal hernia. In addition to the laparoscope, the physician may also use surgical instruments and special clips to repair the hernia.
Most people may get an Inguinal Hernia Repair Done By Laparoscope performed as a way to alleviate discomfort from the hernia, repair the hernia tissue, and improve their quality of life. It is often a preferred option for those who have recurring hernias and for those whose inguinal hernias can't be repaired by other methods.
During the procedure, the patient will be given general anesthesia in order to reduce any discomfort or pain associated with the surgery. Once the patient is sedated, the surgeon will insert the laparoscope into the patient's abdomen, allowing the surgeon to view the hernia on a monitor. Through this, the surgeon will use surgical instruments and special clips to repair the hernia. Lastly, the laparoscope and instruments will be removed, and the abdomen will be closed up with stitches.
After the procedure, patients may experience some swelling and bruising along with minor pain in the abdomen for a few days. Patients will also be advised to take it easy for several days and to follow-up with their surgeon for a check-up.
Inguinal hernias are fairly easy to repair with minimal invasiveness when done through a laparoscopic procedure. It is a safe procedure and the outcome is usually positive. It also allows patients to heal faster and avoid excessive pain from the hernia.
