Hernias
A hernia occurs when and organ pushes through a weak spot in the muscle or tissue that holds it in place. Common types of hernia are inguinal (inner groin), umbilical (belly button) and hiatal (upper stomach).
Laparoscopic hernia repair
Enlarging or painful hernias usually require surgery to relieve discomfort and prevent serious complications. Surgical treatments include open hernia repair and laparoscopic hernia repair. In many cases, laparoscopy is a good choice for inguinal hernias because there is less discomfort and patients experience a quicker recovery. Patients who have minimally invasive surgery often go home the same day and do not require an overnight hospital stay.
