Step By Step Demonstration Of Inguinal Hernia Surgery By Laparoscopy

This video demonstrates step by step demonstration of inguinal hernia surgery by laparoscopy performed by Dr. R K Mishra at World Laparoscopy Hospital. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is performed with general anesthesia.

Two 5mm and one 10mm incision are made in the lower part of the abdomen. In laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, a camera called a laparoscope is inserted into the abdomen to visualize the hernia defect on a monitor. The image on the monitor is used to guide the surgeon’s movements. The inguinal hernia sac is removed from the defect in the abdominal wall, and a prosthetic mesh is then placed to cover the hernia defect. While doing this, surgeons are careful to avoid injuring the nerves that are near the hernia that can cause chronic pain if injured, blood vessels that can bleed, or the vas deferens. The small incisions are closed with suturing that dissolve on their own over time. You should discuss all hernia repair options with your surgeon to determine which approach is best for you. The hernia is repaired by a different technique like TAPP, TEP or IPOM. The majority of patients undergoing elective or nonemergent groin hernia repair go home the same day as the surgery once their pain is under control, they have urinated, and they are able to tolerate food or liquids without nausea or vomiting.
