Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair is a minimally invasive procedure used to correct hernias in the groin area. This technique uses small incisions, a laparoscope, and a patch (mesh) to repair the weakened area of the abdominal wall where the hernia has occurred.

Advantages of Laparoscopic Hernia Repair

Less post-operative pain
Shortened hospital stay
Quicker return to regular diet
Faster recovery to normal activities
Reduced risk of wound infections

Are You a Candidate?

Candidates for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair typically include those who have not had success with non-surgical treatment options or have a hernia that is causing pain or could lead to complications. A thorough examination by your surgeon will determine if this is the right procedure for you.

Preparation and Procedure

Preoperative preparation includes lab tests, medical evaluation, and possibly an EKG. You’ll discuss the risks and benefits with your surgeon and provide consent. Post-operatively, patients are usually able to go home the same day and can quickly resume normal activities.
