A hernia is a portion of the intestine or fatty tissue protruding through a weak area in the abdominal wall. Most common types:
Inguinal hernia
Umbilical hernia
Incisional hernia (after previous operations)
Very small incisions (0.5–1 cm) rather than a large incision.
Lower complication rate and limited bleeding.
Return to work within 3-7 days (instead of 3-6 weeks in open surgery).
Better cosmetic results with less noticeable scars.
The presence of a weak area in the abdominal wall allows part of the intestines or fatty tissue to protrude through it.
Hernia, including: inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia, surgical hernia (after previous operations).
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes 45 to 60 minutes. The surgeon places a fine mesh to reinforce the abdominal wall and prevent the hernia from recurring. The patient is discharged from the hospital on the same day or the following day.
Avoid lifting heavy objects for two weeks.
Take light walks daily to improve blood circulation.
