Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure performed using a camera and instruments inserted through small incisions. Reinforcing the hernia site with a mesh implant reduces the risk of recurrence.

TEP and TAPP techniques are used in laparoscopic treatment of inguinal hernias. This approach can treat unilateral, bilateral and recurrent inguinal hernias.

The operation is performed under general anaesthesia. A laparoscope, a device fitted with a camera, is inserted through an incision of approximately 10 mm near the navel. Two additional incisions of 5 mm and 3 mm are made for the working instruments.

Through these three small incisions, the hernia site is repaired and reinforced with a special mesh implant. For bilateral inguinal hernias, both sides are treated through the same incisions.

The laparoscopic approach also allows precise technological monitoring during cholecystectomy, the removal of the gallbladder. Used for gallstones, inflammation and functional gallbladder disorders, this treatment is associated with limited tissue trauma, a short hospital stay and a quick return to daily life.

There may be pain and a feeling of tension at the hernia site after surgery. These symptoms are less pronounced with laparoscopy because it causes less tissue damage.

Recovery time varies between patients. The stated time for returning to work and daily life does not guarantee a return to full activity within that period.
