    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inguinal_hernia_surgery

    Inguinal hernia surgery is an operation to repair a weakness in the abdominal wall that abnormally allows abdominal contents to slip into a narrow tube called the inguinal canal in the groin region. There are two different clusters of hernia: groin and ventral (abdominal) wall.

    A few of these are the fundoplication and the general laparoscopic hernia repair. In bariatric surgery, hernias are repaired laparoscopically anteriorly, rather than posteriorly as in the fundoplication procedure. This general laparoscopic procedure was introduced by Sami Salem Ahmad from Germany. The Nissen fundoplication procedure was first ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hernia_repair

    Open hernia repair is when an incision is made in the skin directly over the hernia. Laparoscopic hernia repair is when minimally invasive cameras and equipment are used and the hernia is repaired with only small incisions adjacent to the hernia. These techniques are similar to the techniques used in laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. [citation ...

    If strangulation occurs, immediate surgery is required. [1] Repair may be done by open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, or robotic-assisted surgery. [1] Open surgery has the benefit of possibly being done under local anesthesia rather than general anesthesia. [1] Laparoscopic surgery generally has less pain following the procedure. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laparoscopy

    Laparoscopic surgery, also called minimally invasive procedure, bandaid surgery, or keyhole surgery, is a modern surgical technique. There are a number of advantages to the patient with laparoscopic surgery versus an exploratory laparotomy. These include reduced pain due to smaller incisions, reduced hemorrhaging, and shorter recovery time.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incisional_hernia

    Regeneration by autologous tissue stem cells is a unique method for repair of large incisional hernias. It not only obviates causative factors responsible for herniation but utilises these factors to strengthen repair and regeneration of traumatised tissues. [7] [8] Laparoscopic incisional hernia repair is a new method of surgery for this ...

    Recovery may be slightly faster after laparoscopic surgery, although the laparoscopic procedure itself is more expensive and resource-intensive than open surgery and generally takes longer. Advanced pelvic sepsis occasionally requires a lower midline laparotomy. Complicated (perforated) appendicitis should undergo prompt surgical intervention. [1]
