Open surgery: Before undergoing open surgery, you will be given a general anesthetic. To open your skin, the surgeon creates an incision. The hernia will be gently pushed back into place, tied up, or removed. Stitches will then be used to close the weak part of the muscle where the hernia pushed through. Your surgeon may use a piece of flexible mesh to support bigger hernias. It will aid in the prevention of a recurrence of the hernia.
Laparoscopic surgery:
Your abdomen is inflated with a safe gas during this procedure. This allows the surgeon to see your organs more clearly. A few small incisions (cuts) will be made near the hernia. They’ll put a thin tube with a tiny camera on the end into the body (laparoscope). The surgeon repairs the hernia with mesh using images from the laparoscope as a guide. You will be given general anesthesia for laparoscopic surgery.
Laparoscopic surgery has a speedier recovery time than open surgery, with patients returning to their normal routine a week sooner on average.
The size, nature, and location of your hernia will all influence the type of surgery you’ll need. Your doctor will also take into account your lifestyle, health, and age
