Laparoscopic Procedures, Hernia Repair at Medicover Hospitals, Kurnool

Laparoscopic surgery, often termed minimally invasive surgery, has revolutionised the field of surgical medicine. This technique allows surgeons to perform complex procedures through small incisions, resulting in reduced pain, quicker recovery times, and minimal scarring. At Medicover Hospitals in Kurnool, we have embraced this advanced surgical method, particularly for hernia repairs, to offer our patients the best possible care.

In this article, we will explore the effective methods for laparoscopic procedures, specifically focusing on hernia repair, and why Medicover Hospitals in Kurnool is at the forefront of this innovative medical field.

What is Laparoscopic Surgery?

Laparoscopic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery that uses a laparoscope—a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light at the end. The laparoscope is inserted through a small incision, allowing surgeons to view the surgical area on a monitor and perform the procedure with precision instruments inserted through other small incisions.

Advantages of Laparoscopic Surgery

The benefits of laparoscopic surgery are numerous:

• Reduced Pain and Scarring: Smaller incisions mean less post-operative pain and minimal scarring.
• Shorter Hospital Stays: Most patients can leave the hospital within a day or two.
• Faster Recovery: Patients typically return to their normal activities quicker compared to traditional open surgery.
• Lower Risk of Infection: Smaller incisions reduce the risk of post-operative infections.

Hernia Repair: A Common Laparoscopic Procedure

Hernias occur when an internal organ or tissue bulges through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. Common types include inguinal, umbilical, and hiatal hernias. Laparoscopic hernia repair is a highly effective method for treating these conditions.

Types of Laparoscopic Hernia Repair

• Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) Repair:Involves entering the peritoneal cavity and placing a mesh over the hernia defect from inside the abdomen.
• Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP) Repair:Performed without entering the peritoneal cavity. The mesh is placed between the abdominal wall and the peritoneum.

Procedure Steps

• Anesthesia: The patient is given general anesthesia.
• Incisions: Small incisions are made near the hernia site.
• Insertion: The laparoscope and surgical instruments are inserted.
• Repair: The hernia is repaired by placing a mesh over the defect.
• Closure: Incisions are closed with sutures or surgical glue.

Recovery and Aftercare

Patients usually experience minimal pain and can resume light activities within a few days. Full recovery typically takes a few weeks, during which heavy lifting and strenuous activities should be avoided.
