Inguinal hernia laparoscopy is the most optimal and modern operation to get rid of protrusion with minimal consequences for the body. Inguinal hernia does not allow person to move around normally, to carry out labor activities. Hernia infringement is a serious complication that requires urgent surgical intervention.

What is the intervention?

Laparoscopic hernia repair is performed using special instruments that allow surgeon to install a prosthesis in the groin area, without large skin incision. Thanks to video camera, problem is visible from the inside, and the initial signs of hernia formation are also revealed.

The meaning of the intervention lies in the fact that surgeon introduces special devices through small openings of the anterior abdominal wall and installs a special prosthesis at the site of the hernia exit, which prevents the risk of reappearance (relapse) of the pathology, because the hernia gate closes securely.

Technique for Laparoscopy of Inguinal Hernia

For inguinal hernia, the most common operation is laparoscopy. The technique for carrying out the presented procedure is as follows:

First, several small incisions are made on the skin in the navel, through which the instruments will be inserted. Their size does not exceed 2 cm. This ensures good wound healing without rough scars.
After that, trocars - special tubes - are inserted into the abdominal cavity. They are used throughout the entire operation. The first is injected into the navel, through it carbon dioxide is pumped into the abdominal cavity to create an operating space. Then, a camera is placed through the trocar into the abdominal cavity, providing excellent visibility of the operating field, displayed on the monitor.
The rest of the tubes are needed in order to insert the instruments themselves into the cavity for performing the intervention.
