Open vs Laparoscopic Groin Hernia Surgery

A hernia is a lump caused by the protrusion of a tissue or organ on a wall of a muscle or fascia. It can be developed at any age, although chances are higher as age increases.

A hernia can often develop in the groin.

Mr Peter Willson, General Surgeon at New Victoria Hospital, guides you through the most common surgery options for groin hernia and the recovery time.

I’ve had both types of surgery, one on each side. With the open surgery the scar is where you can’t see it instead of 3 scars on your belly. Less recovery time in my case. And pain is in one area. The laparoscopic surgery will have your entire lower abdomen on fire for days.

Can one carry a pregnancy after inguinal hernia mesh inserted

My Dr. said with laparoscopic repair that LMA cannot be used because I must be paralyzed during the operation. A breathing tube must be used instead due to being paralyzed. So with the open approach LMA can be used since being paralyzed isn't required, is that right? Also, wouldn't chance of being unable to urinate afterward would be less if not paralyzed for surgery?

Don't get open surgery guys. You want a robotic laparoscopic surgery, it is much easier to recover from and leaves less scars.

Never ever let a general surgeon repair your hernia, see a specialist

Please research some kind of nano bots that repair people without pain.
