Types of Hernia Surgery

1. Open Hernia Surgery

Open hernia surgery involves making an incision of about 2–3 inches to access and repair the abdominal wall using a synthetic mesh.

Advantages:

  • Straightforward surgical method widely practiced by surgeons.
  • Cost-effective and suitable for most patients.

Disadvantages:

  • Longer recovery time (1–2 weeks).
  • Visible scars, especially for bilateral hernias.
  • Higher infection risk for overweight patients.

2. Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery uses three small incisions to insert surgical tools and repair the hernia with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.

Advantages:

  • Less pain post-surgery.
  • Smaller incisions reduce the risk of infection.
  • Faster recovery (2–3 days for most patients).
  • Ability to repair bilateral hernias without additional incisions.

Disadvantages:

  • Higher cost compared to open surgery.
  • Not suitable for patients with respiratory issues or risks related to general anesthesia.

Common Causes of Hernias

Hernias can develop due to a combination of factors, including:

  • Weak abdominal wall tissue or muscle abnormalities.
  • Increased abdominal pressure from obesity, pregnancy, coughing, or heavy lifting.
  • Chronic constipation or frequent straining during bowel movements.

Why Choose Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery?

Laparoscopic surgery offers numerous benefits, especially for patients looking for minimally invasive procedures with faster recovery times.

Key Benefits of Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery:

  • Minimal scarring with incisions as small as 5–10 mm.
  • Faster recovery; return to work in 2–3 days.
  • Reduced pain and lower complication risks.
  • Lower recurrence rates.
  • Shorter hospital stays (often 1–2 days).
  • Ability to resume daily activities in 1 week and heavy exercise in 2–4 weeks.
