Top Choice for Laparoscopic Hernia Repair treatment at GEM Hospital

Types of Laparoscopic Hernia Repair Techniques

1. Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) Repair

In Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) Repair, the surgeon uses a laparoscope to operate from inside the abdomen to repair the hernia. This technique involves the creation of a sub peritoneal space, in the peritoneal cavity by detaching the peritoneum from the abdominal wall. The surgeon then sutures an artificial material over the hernia defect from within the abdominal cavity to strengthen the area. TAPP repair is flexible and is mostly applied in inguinal hernias because it allows the surgeon to see both right and left sides of the abdomen.

2. Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP) Repair

Another technique is the Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP) Repair which does not require the surgeon to make an incision into the peritoneal cavity at all. However, the surgeon operates between the layers of the abdominal wall to get to the hernia site, thereby creating a chance to place the mesh directly over the hernia. TEP repair also eliminates the dangers of intraperitoneal access and is famous for quick healing. This technique is suitable for inguinal hernias and is particularly used when one does not want to enter the peritoneal cavity.

3. Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh (IPOM) Repair

In Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh (IPOM) Repair, the surgeon lays a mesh directly on the peritoneal cavity but over the hernia opening. This approach is particularly advantageous for the management of the bulkier or more complicated hernias such as ventral and incisional hernias. The mesh is then sutured or tacked and the onlay position of the mesh helps to offer support to the abdominal wall. IPOM is advantageous when a stronger reinforcement is needed because it can cover a larger area and be very effective in preventing a recurrence.

4. Robotic Laparoscopic Hernia Repair

Robotic Laparoscopic Hernia Repair involves the use of a robot, which provides the surgeon with better dexterity and control with better high definition, three-dimensional view of the operation site. The robotic system can afford more precise movements in performing surgery in areas that are difficult or complex in cases of hernias. This technique is a fusion of laparoscopic surgery that uses small incisions and less time to recover with the aid of a robot. Robotic hernia repair is suitable for different kinds of hernias, especially when it is necessary to work with high accuracy.

Key Benefits of Laparoscopic Hernia Repair Treatment

• Minimally Invasive with Smaller Incisions: Laparoscopic hernia repair entails a number of small incisions thus causing minimal damage to the tissue, less pain and minimal scarring.

• Faster Recovery and Return to Daily Life: It is a common knowledge that patients usually have shorter time to heal with less time required to get back to their normal lives, jobs and exercise.

• Reduced Risk of Infection and Complications: Minimally invasive surgeries and the use of sophisticated tools minimize the chances of infections and other complications after surgery.

• Precise and Effective for Recurrent Hernias: Superior visualization enables the surgeon to achieve very good repairs making it perfect for primary and especially for recurrent and bilateral hernias.

• Better Cosmetic Outcome: There is little tissue damage, and therefore, less scarring is experienced giving the patient a better appearance after surgery as well as improving their self-esteem.
