Laparoscopy of inguinal hernia
The "gold standard" of surgical removal of inguinal hernia.
This is the protrusion of internal organs through a weak spot in the anterior abdominal wall into the area of the inguinal canal. The hernia consists of a hernial gate (a defect in the abdominal wall), a hernial sac and its contents — it can be intestines, bladder, omentum or other organs.
Inguinal hernia can be congenital or acquired, and physical overexertion, obesity, genetic predisposition and other factors predispose to its development. Without surgery, the hernia can progress, threatening complications. The only reliable method of inguinal hernia treatment is hernioplasty surgery, and the laparoscopic method is the most effective solution. Laparoscopic surgery allows to eliminate a hernial defect with minimal tissue injury, reducing the risk of recurrence.
Clinical and biochemical blood tests Determination of blood type and Rh factor General urine analysis Coagulogram for blood coagulation assessment Fluorography and electrocardiogram (ECG) Tests for infections (HIV, hepatitis, syphilis) Ultrasound of the abdominal cavity and scrotal organs may be required to accurately determine the hernial protrusion and its contents.
Laparoscopic hernioplasty is performed under general anesthesia. Through three small punctures in the abdominal wall, a laparoscope with a camera that transmits the image to the screen and surgical instruments are inserted. The surgeon returns the organs to their anatomically correct position, removes the hernial sac and installs a mesh implant to strengthen the abdominal wall from the inside. This implant prevents the re-formation of a hernia. The operation takes from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case.

After the operation, the patient is in the hospital under supervision for 1 day. In the absence of complications, discharge is possible the next day. Full recovery takes up to 2 weeks, during which it is necessary to follow the doctor's recommendations on limiting physical activity and maintaining a special diet. A month later, a follow-up examination of the surgeon is carried out to assess the condition and results of the operation.
