Understanding the Procedure
What is Laparoscopic Hernia Repair?
Laparoscopic hernia repair is a minimally invasive surgical technique where a camera and instruments are inserted through 3 small incisions to repair the hernia defect and place a mesh reinforcement — entirely without a large open cut over the groin or abdomen.
Two main techniques are used: TEP (Totally Extraperitoneal), which works entirely outside the abdominal cavity, and TAPP (Transabdominal Preperitoneal), which enters the abdomen for a wider view. Both offer excellent outcomes with very low recurrence rates below 2%.
Advantages of laparoscopic repair
- 3 tiny incisions (5–10mm) vs one large open incision
- Less post-operative pain and faster return to activity
- Bilateral hernias repaired in a single procedure
- Lower recurrence rate with mesh reinforcement
- Better for recurrent hernias where scar tissue makes open repair harder
