Dear Dr. Ajay Kumar Jain We can perform laparoscopic repair for your periumbilical hernia. The greatest advantage of the laparoscopic ventral hernia repair when compared to the traditional surgical approach is that it offers quicker recovery with shorter hospital stays. In addition to this, there is a reduced risk of any infection and recurrence of the hernia. Patients usually return home within a day of the surgery, and have less pain with quicker return to normal activities. With regards M.K.Gupta |
