Frequently Asked Questions

What is laparoscopic hernia repair?

Laparoscopic hernia repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to fix a hernia. A hernia is an opening or weakness in the abdominal wall that can allow organs, such as the intestine, to push through.

During a laparoscopic hernia repair, the surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a tiny camera and surgical instruments into the body. The surgeon then fixes the hernia using sutures or mesh. This type of surgery typically results in less pain and faster recovery than traditional open surgery.

At Hernia Innovations, we specialize in laparoscopic hernia repair. It is the safest and most modern hernia treatment currently available.

What are the different types of hernia?

There are many different types of hernia, but the most common ones are inguinal, femoral, umbilical, and hiatal.

Inguinal hernias occur when part of the intestine bulges through a weak spot in the lower abdominal wall. Femoral hernias occur when part of the intestine bulges through a weak spot in the upper thigh muscles. Umbilical hernias occur when part of the intestine protrudes through an opening in the abdominal muscles around the navel. Hiatal hernias occur when part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm and into the chest cavity.

Has hernia treatment technology improved?

There have been a number of technological advances in hernia treatment over the years. For example, traditional open surgery has been replaced with laparoscopic surgery, which is a less invasive procedure. In addition, mesh implants have been developed to better repair hernias. Overall, these advances have helped to improve the success rate of hernia treatment and reduce the risk of complications.

Without treatment, will a hernia go away on its own?

Generally speaking, a hernia will not go away on its own. If left untreated, a hernia may get worse and could eventually lead to more serious problems. Surgery is generally the recommended treatment for a hernia, though in some cases conservative treatments may be recommended. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns about a hernia.
