Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair
What is Inguinal Hernia and why is it caused?
When the inner layers of the abdominal wall weaken, a hernia forms, resulting in a bulge or rip.
As the inner tube punctures the damaged tyre, the abdomen’s inner lining presses against the weakest part of the abdominal wall, generating a balloon-like sac. The intestine loops or the abdominal tissue rips as a result of this.
Tissue weakening can be caused by a variety of factors, including natural weakness, heavy lifting, chronic coughing, and straining with bowel movements or urination.

What is Laparoscopic
hernia repair?
The procedure for laparoscopically correcting a hernia is the same as for other laparoscopic procedures. The surgeon makes incisions through which a laparoscope (a laparoscope is a small instrument with a narrow tube that has a light source and camera at the end of the tube) is inserted, and the surgeon uses the Laparoscope’s video camera to locate the hernia; the hernia is then reduced with the help of surgical equipment through the other incisions made; and the incisions are then sealed using surgical glue or staples.
Depending on the severity of the hernia, the doctor may do an open procedure.
