I am 27 years old student, I am having reducible inguinal harnia on right side. I want to get it repaired, but one of my friends told me that it can not be repaired, it will reoccur after operation so it is good not to get it operated but use some belts. please Guide me what should I do. |

Dear Mr Vikash Laparoscopic repair of hernia is a very successful surgery. Laparoscopic hernia repair is similar to other laparoscopic procedures. General anesthesia is given, and a small cut (incision) is made in or just below the navel. The abdomen is inflated with air so that the surgeon can see the abdominal organs. In laparoscopic hernia surgery, a telescope attached to a camera is inserted through a small incision that is made under the patient's belly button. Two other small cuts are made (each no larger than the diameter of pencil eraser) in the lower abdomen. The hernia defect is reinforced with a 'mesh' and secured in position with stitches/staples/titanium tacks or tissue glue, depending on the preference of individual surgeon. Most people who have laparoscopic hernia repair surgery are able to go home the same day. Recovery time is about 1 to 2 weeks. So in our opinion you should get the surgery done with the confidence on laparoscopic hernia repair. With regards J S Chowhan |
