What is Laparoscopic Hernia Repair?

Laparoscopic hernia repair uses tiny incisions and a laparoscope (camera) to guide the surgeon during the operation.

Compared to traditional open surgery:

  • Incisions are smaller, leaving minimal scars
  • Post-operative pain is reduced
  • Recovery and return to daily activities are faster

This procedure is commonly used for:

  • Inguinal hernia (groin)
  • Umbilical hernia (belly button)
  • Incisional hernia (previous surgical site)
