Inguinal hernia is a common condition whose only treatment is surgery.

 

By using laparoscopy in the treatment of inguinal hernias, we improve the results of conventional techniques.

 

With less postoperative pain and a more comfortable recovery, laparoscopic surgery is the ideal technique for patients seeking a rapid and effective solution for their inguinal hernia.

 

HOW DO WE DO IT?

 

Using epidural block or general anesthesia, we identify the weak points of the abdominal wall from the inside through small 5 and 10 mm holes. It is in this region where different types of hernias originate.

Once the abdominal organs have been repositioned to their anatomical position, the placement of a synthetic mesh allows us to completely close the hernial orifice.

Since the inguinal region is subject to constant tension and pressure, mesh reinforcement is essential to allow a full return to the patient's normal routine prior to surgery while minimizing the possibility of the hernia recurring.

​

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY?

 

Minimal surgical intervention results in less postoperative pain with a reduced need for analgesics, early mobilization, and a rapid return to physical activity prior to surgery.

 

WHAT CASES CAN BE PROCEEDED WITH THE LAPAROSCOPIC TECHNIQUE?

 

Athletes who do not want to interrupt their normal activities and professionals who do not want a long period of convalescence are the patients who most request this type of technique.

Although it can be said that laparoscopic surgery is applicable to all cases of inguinal hernia, its indication must be individualized. A prior assessment is necessary to identify cases in which it is inadvisable.

 

AND AFTER SURGERY?

 

The goal of laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery is a full return to normal life. After the postoperative period, patients can resume normal physical activity.

Occasionally, hernias may recur. These cases are due to postoperative complications, technical errors, or various circumstances that can cause displacement of the implanted mesh. These cases will require re-evaluation to consider a new surgical repair.
