Procedure

The inguinal hernia repair is using a laparoscope tool. The laparoscope (thin telescope with light at the end) and the operating instruments into the abdomen are made across the abdomen between 2 and 4 small incisions. The incisions are thin, so the whole process is also called the keyhole process. It is also called a minimally invasive or limited access procedure. The hernia is then seen within the abdominal wall, on the other side. To allow the surgeon the sphere to operate in the patient, the abdominal cavity is inflated with carbon dioxide gas, with long instruments remotely working.
To repair the herniated defect or hole, mesh in the abdomen is shot with staples in the muscle tissue generally.
