About Hernia Repair Surgery
General anaesthetic is used for keyhole inguinal hernia repair, so you'll be asleep during the operation. During keyhole surgery, the surgeon usually makes three small incisions in your abdomen (instead of a single, larger incision). A thin tube containing a light source and a camera (laparoscope) is inserted through one of these incisions, so the surgeon can see inside your abdomen. Special surgical instruments are inserted through the other incisions, so the surgeon can pull the hernia back into place.
There are two types of keyhole surgery: Transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) – Instruments are inserted through the muscle wall of your abdomen and through the lining covering your organs (the peritoneum). A flap of the peritoneum is peeled back over the hernia and a piece of mesh is stapled or glued to the weakened area in your abdomen wall to strengthen it. Totally extraperitoneal (TEP) – This is the newest keyhole technique. It involves repairing the hernia without entering the peritoneal cavity.
Once the repair is complete, the incisions in your skin are sealed with stitches or surgical glue. For years, the doctors at AarPee Hospital have been performing such difficult surgeries successfully. So, there is no worry about surety and guarantee.
