What is Laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy is a type of surgery where instead of making one big cut, the doctor makes a few very small cuts. A tiny camera on a thin tube is inserted through these cuts so the doctor can see inside your body and fix the problem. It's often called "keyhole surgery."

What is Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery?

A hernia happens when tissue pushes through a weak spot in your muscle or abdominal wall. Laparoscopic hernia surgery is a modern way to fix this without a large cut.

Here's how it works — the surgeon makes 2 to 3 tiny cuts, each less than a centimetre long. A small camera goes in through one cut so the surgeon can see clearly on a screen. Using special tools, the surgeon gently pushes the hernia back into place and places a small mesh (like a patch) over the weak area to strengthen it and stop the hernia from coming back.

The whole procedure usually takes between 30 to 60 minutes.

Why is this surgery preferred?

The main reason doctors and patients prefer this approach is that it causes much less damage to the body compared to traditional open surgery. Here's what makes it better:

• Less pain — Because the cuts are so small, most patients feel only mild discomfort after surgery, which is easy to manage with basic painkillers.
• Faster recovery — Most people can get back to light daily activities within 7 to 10 days.
• Short hospital stay — Many patients go home the same day or within 24 hours.
• Minimal scarring — Instead of one long scar, you're left with a few tiny marks that fade over time.
• Lower infection risk — Smaller cuts heal faster and are less likely to get infected.
• Works well for complex cases — It's especially useful when someone has hernias on both sides, or when a previous surgery has already been done.

The success rate for this surgery is over 95%.

What does recovery look like?

• First 2 days — You may feel some bloating, mild pain, or an odd ache in the shoulder (caused by the gas used during surgery). This passes quickly. Light walking is encouraged.
• Week 1 — Pain keeps reducing. Most people stop needing strong painkillers. Eating fibre-rich foods like fruits and vegetables helps avoid constipation.
• Weeks 2 to 4 — You can drive, go back to office work, and do light activities. However, heavy lifting should still be avoided.
• After 4 weeks — Most patients feel completely normal. With the doctor's go-ahead, you can return to exercise and your regular routine.

What to Do and what not?

• Do: Walk a little every day, keep the wound area clean, eat well, stay hydrated, and attend all follow-up visits.
• Don't: Lift heavy things, strain in the bathroom, swim until wounds heal, smoke, or ignore warning signs like fever, redness, or swelling at the wound site.

Is this surgery right for everyone?

Not necessarily. Your doctor will look at the type and size of your hernia and your overall health before deciding the best option for you. A proper consultation is always the first step.
