If you need guidance on the surgical process, the postoperative stage and the advantages of having Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia surgery, we offer you more detailed information below.

Inguinal hernias are named after the place where it appears, the groin. The repair of these hernias may be performed via the conventional technique, but the most recommended one for its repair is via laparoscopy, since it’s a minimally invasive procedure that minimises recovery time and medical complications. 

A hernia mainly appears due to lifting heavy objects, a persistent coughing, or difficulties for defecation or urination.

These are the main causes in adults along with ageing or congenital problems that can lead to its appearance. 

When a patient makes the decision of having surgery for an inguinal hernia repair by laparoscopy, it’s important to take into account a few steps previous to the surgery in order for it to be performed as safely and effectively as possible. We’re going to explain below step by step how laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery is carried out at Operarme.

First of all, the patient has been previously diagnosed with an inguinal hernia and needs surgery to repair it, so the patient books a surgical assessment consultation with one of our general surgeons, through our website.

Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Surgery is a major surgery that is performed under general anaesthesia and lasts between 90-120 minutes.

These are the steps the surgeon takes to perform a Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Surgery:

• First of all, general anaesthesia will be given to the patient, meaning that the patient stays asleep throughout the procedure.
• The surgeon starts by disinfecting the area (usually the patient will have shaved it previous to the surgery) and makes between 2 and 4 small incisions in the abdominal cavity, where he/she will introduce the surgical instruments (remember that this surgery is minimally invasive).
• Next step, the surgeon will introduce a harmless gas into the cavity to enlarge it and improve visibility.
• The next step is to insert a laparoscopy into the area through one of these mini incisions. The laparoscope is an instrument that allows the surgeon to get a better view of the inside of the body on a monitor, and therefore removing the need of opening the patient. 
• Through the laparoscope, the surgeon will repair the inguinal hernia from the inside, monitoring the whole process through a monitor connected to the laparoscope. The first step is to relocate the herniated tissue back inside, in order to repair the defect on the abdominal wall with the surgical mesh.
• The surgical mesh consolidates the abdominal wall and prevents the hernia from protruding again. 
• Once the mesh is placed, the surgeon will reassure that the organs and structures in the area operated haven’t been damaged and then remove all the surgical instruments, laparoscope and gas from the body.
• Finally, the surgeon will place stitches and dressings in the incisions, and remove anaesthesia from the patient.
• At the end of the surgery, the patient will be taken to the recovery room to recover from the anaesthesia. 

The intervention for Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair lasts between 90 and 120 minutes.

Once in his/her private room, the patient will stay for the night in the hospital. Thanks to the minimally invasive laparoscopic technique, the patient can be discharged from the hospital earlier due to reduced bleeding and incision. 

After the doctor’s decision to discharge the patient, he/she will be able to return home. Once the inpatient has been given the discharge report, he/she can request the transfer service offered on our services.

The complete recovery time of the Inguinal Hernia Repair by Laparoscopy is estimated in 3 weeks.

The main advantage of this surgery is the relief of non-stop discomfort caused by this affliction. Moreover, since this intervention is performed with a laparoscope, scarring is minimal and the chances of bleeding after surgery are also reduced, along with recovery time and hospital stay as well.
