Laparoscopic gallbladder removal is often the best way to stop your pain when gallstones are the problem. Best of all, you should still be able to live a full and healthy life without your gallbladder. This includes eating the foods and doing the things you enjoyed before your gallbladder problems started. A hernia is a weakness or tear in the wall of the abdomen. Acquired hernias are caused by wear and tear over the years.
Congenital hernias result from a weakness in the abdominal wall that is present at birth.
Both types of hernias may get worse or grow larger with time or physical stress. It allows your surgeon a close-up view of your hernia using only small incisions. Because large incisions are not required, recovery from laparoscopic surgery is often faster and less painful than after open surgery. There are two types of laparoscopic hernia repair. Your doctor will decide which is best for you, depending on the kind of hernia you have.
