LAPAROSCOPIC HERNIA
What is HERNIA?
A hernia occurs when the inside layers of the abdominal wall weaken and then bulge or tear. In the same way an inner tube pushes through a damaged tire, the inner lining of the abdomen pushes through the weakened area to form a balloon-like sac. This, in turn, can cause a loop of intestine or abdominal tissue to slip into the sac, causing severe pain and other potentially serious health problems.
How is Laparoscopic hernia repair performe?
We at Dr Kurhade's best hernia spcialialist clinic provides laparoscopic treatment with state of art facility in Pune.
A 3- to 5-inch incision is made through several layers of skin, fatty tissue and muscle to reveal the hernial sac. The incision is made on an angle just above the line where the abdomen meets the thigh.
The most important part of the surgical repair involves removal of the hernial sac and closure of the opening in the inguinal canal. This closure is accomplished by sewing the edges of the remaining tissue together after the hernial sac is removed or by attaching a mesh patch to the outside of the abdominal wall just beneath the layer of muscle.
Advantages of Laparoscopic Hernia:
Requires only 3 or 4 tiny openings
Much less postoperative pain
