Laparoscopic Robotic Open Hernia Surgery
We provide the full range of Laparoscopic / Robotic / Open Hernia Surgery, covering the complete spectrum of Abdominal, Pelvic and Hiatus Hernias. We profile a few common hernias and often performed treatment approaches here.
LAPAROSCOPIC HERNIA SURGERY
Hernias are one the most common surgical problems to affect humans. A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue comes out through a defect or area of weakness in the wall of the body. The commonest hernias are groin hernias, umbilical and incisional hernias. Hernia repair surgery returns the displaced organs or tissues to their natural position and seals the defect or weak area. Traditionally, hernia operations and abdominal wall repair was performed by open surgery. For nearly 30 years now, hernia repairs are increasingly repaired by laparoscopic and recently by robotic surgical methods. The benefits of laparoscopic and now robotic surgery in experienced hands are efficient repair, lesser pain, better cosmesis and quicker recovery. Do discuss in detail with your treating surgeon about all issues relating to hernia repair before making any decision about treatment.
ROBOTIC HERNIA SURGERY
Robotic surgery is a recent technique for repairing abdominal hernias, where the surgeon controls surgical instruments robotically from a console. Advantages of robotic hernia surgery are three-dimensional view of the abdomen, precision control of surgical instruments, smaller scars, less pain and potentially quicker recovery. A newer application of robotic hernia surgery has been the reconstruction of the abdominal wall in cases of large-complex abdominal hernias.
OPEN HERNIA SURGERY
Traditionally, abdominal hernia surgery has been performed through open surgical access. This involves usually an incision at the hernia site to reduce the hernia bulge with its contents back into the abdomen and secure the weakened area by sutures (stitches) or a synthetic / biological mesh.
