Laparoscopic Hernia Repair
Minimally invasive keyhole hernia repair with mesh — under 1% recurrence, day surgery, rapid recovery.
What is Laparoscopic Hernia Repair?
Laparoscopic hernia repair uses 3–4 small keyhole incisions to place a polypropylene mesh reinforcing the hernia defect from within. Technique depends on hernia type — TEP or TAPP for inguinal/femoral, IPOM for incisional and ventral hernias. All achieve under 1% recurrence with mesh.
Dr. Tagore Mohan Grandhi performs all laparoscopic hernia repair techniques — TEP, TAPP, and IPOM. Bilateral inguinal hernias are repaired simultaneously through the same 3 incisions. Day surgery with return to work in 1–2 weeks.
Suitable for most patients with inguinal, femoral, umbilical, incisional, or ventral hernias — particularly bilateral inguinal hernias (both sides repaired simultaneously).
How the Procedure Works
Port Placement
3–4 small incisions (5–12 mm). Laparoscopic ports placed. CO₂ pneumoperitoneum creates working space.
Hernia Identification
Hernia sac and defect identified laparoscopically. Contents reduced. Defect measured for mesh sizing.
Mesh Placement
Large polypropylene mesh (15×10 cm minimum) placed covering the defect with 3–5 cm overlap beyond defect in all directions.
Mesh Fixation
Mesh fixed with tacks or sutures. Peritoneum closed over mesh for TAPP. Fascial closure at 12 mm ports.
Recovery
Day surgery. Return to light activity in 1 week. Heavy lifting restricted for 4–6 weeks.
Outcomes
Who Needs This Treatment?
- →Under 1% recurrence — equivalent to or better than open mesh repair
- →3–4 small incisions — significantly less post-operative pain
- →Day surgery — home the same day for most patients
- →Bilateral hernias repaired simultaneously through the same 3 incisions
Laparoscopic hernia repair gives patients the best of all worlds — under 1% recurrence, 3 small incisions, home the same day, and back to work in a week. For bilateral hernias, we fix both sides through the same 3 incisions.
