Laparoscopic Hernia Repair

Laparoscopic Hernia Repair

With this in mind, it is generally recommended that hernias should be fixed.  As the risk of obstruction and strangulation has been shown in recent studies to be relatively low, the timing of surgery can be planned around work commitments.  Generally we recommend that if the hernia is interfering with your work or lifestyle, you should consider having it repaired.

Obviously laparoscopic repair of hernias is less painful than open surgery and allows you to resume your normal activities earlier than following open surgery.  There is also evidence in some cases that the success of laparoscopic or keyhole hernia repair is higher than the more traditional open hernia repair.
