Open repair of a Hernia operation is typically performed when someone has a single Hernia and has never had one before. The surgeon makes an incision in the groin or abdomen, they then return the Herniated muscle, organ, or other tissue to its original position, the sac that held the Hernia is removed. The surgeon may insert a mesh to reinforce and reduce the stress on the weakened area. Open surgery requires a longer recovery process. The patient is unable to move around normally for up to six weeks.
In laparoscopy, the doctor or specialist will make an incision in the peritoneum, a layer of tissue that lines the groin, and uses required surgical tools to fix the Hernia. Because laparoscopic surgery requires smaller incisions, it usually results in smaller scars and less pain after surgery.
Besides, not all Hernias are suitable for laparoscopic repair. This includes Hernias wherever some of your intestines have moved down into the scrotum.
