Hernia Repair: Minimally Invasive Options
With Dr. Vijay Khandelwal · Shivjyoti Hospital
Hernias are a common condition that often require surgical repair. Here is what to know about the minimally invasive approach to treatment.
What Is a Hernia?
A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle, most commonly in the abdomen or groin.
Laparoscopic vs Open Repair
Laparoscopic repair uses small incisions and often results in less pain and a quicker return to normal activities compared to open surgery.
The Repair Process
A mesh is typically used to reinforce the weakened area and reduce the chance of the hernia recurring.
Recovery & Activity Restrictions
Most patients can resume light activity within days, though heavy lifting is usually restricted for a few weeks.
