Laparoscopic Hernia Repair Unilateral Procedure

Laparoscopic hernia repair is a minimally invasive surgery that is used to repair different types of hernias. A laparoscope is a thin tube with a camera attached that surgeons use to visualize the hernias during surgery. The overall goal of this procedure is to push the herniated tissue back into place to restore the weakened abdominal wall. This procedure is offered as an alternative to open hernia repair surgery, which involves making a larger incision to repair the hernia. Laparoscopic hernia repair offers several benefits including less postoperative pain, less risk, and allows for a quicker recovery time.

When is This Procedure Necessary?

A hernia refers to the pressure of an organ on the abdominal wall, which causes it to weaken. Oftentimes, hernias do not need immediate intervention and they may even go away on their own. However, in instances where the hernia manifests uncomfortable symptoms, patients may consider treatment. There are different treatment options depending on the patient’s preferences and unique health conditions. A laparoscopic approach is an excellent alternative to traditional open hernia repair.

What To Expect

Patients are under local or general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. The surgeon will insert the laparoscope into the abdomen region to visualize the region throughout the procedure. The surgeon will then make 3-4 small incisions to access the region with specialized tools. The overall goal of this procedure is to push the bulging tissue back into place and add a prosthetic mesh to cover the defect.

Following the surgery, patients typically experience less postoperative pain and discomfort compared to open hernia repair procedures. Recovery from laparoscopic hernia repair often involves a quicker return to normal activities and a shorter hospital stay. Most patients are able to resume light activities within a few days and can gradually increase their physical activity as tolerated.
