A hernia happens when an organ or fatty tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. This causes a bulge. The bulge may get bigger when you cough, lift heavy things, or stand for a long time.
Hernias are not always painful in the beginning. If left untreated, these can lead to serious complications. That’s why timely diagnosis and treatment are important.

Hernias can form in different parts of the body. The most common types include:
Appears in the groin area when part of the intestine or bladder pushes through the abdominal wall. It’s more common in men.
It develops when the intestine pushes through weak abdominal muscles. It’s common in infants but can also develop in adults.
When part of the stomach bulges up through the diaphragm into the chest.
Appears in the upper thigh near the femoral artery. It’s more common in women. It may cause pain or discomfort after physical activity.
It occurs at or near a previous surgical scar. The muscles there have weakened over time.
Other types of hernia include,
Hernias often cause discomfort, pain, and a visible bulge in the affected area. They can be left untreated initially, but need to be monitored properly. However, if the condition worsens, surgical repair is essential to alleviate symptoms.
It is a minimally invasive surgical technique. The surgeon makes a few tiny incisions and inserts a laparoscope. Laparoscope helps in viewing the hernia on a monitor. The surgeon repairs the weak area using special instruments. The doctor reinforces it with a surgical mesh for added strength.
Key Benefits of Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery
Not everyone is an ideal candidate for laparoscopic surgery. It may not be recommended if you have:

Certain health and lifestyle factors significantly increase the likelihood of hernia formation:
Depending on the severity of the patient’s condition, the doctors recommend a suitable treatment.
A single incision is made to access and repair the hernia. This method is usually preferred for large or complicated hernias.
The surgery uses tiny incisions to insert a laparoscope. A camera and fine instruments help the surgeon. This allows quicker recovery and less discomfort.
It is an advanced variation of laparoscopic surgery. It uses robotic precision for highly complex cases.
Step-by-Step Procedure of Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery
It uses enhanced imaging tools and advanced surgical techniques to minimize tissue disruption. Surgeons use thin instruments and a high-resolution camera. The doctors access the affected region through minor cuts. This approach supports faster tissue recovery and a lower risk of postoperative adhesions. It is mostly selected for bilateral or recurrent cases due to reduced discomfort and hospital stay.
A structured comparison of open, laparoscopic, and robotic hernia repair methods highlights key differences in outcomes, recovery, and suitability.

| Phase | Key Actions |
| Preoperative Assessment | Includes blood analysis, imaging (such as CT or ultrasound), and anaesthesia review. Final consent and risk discussion occur at this stage. |
| Administration of Anaesthesia | General, regional, or local anaesthesia(based on the patient’s condition and method). |
| Reduced symptoms | Herniated tissue is repositioned into the original cavity. |
| Reinforcement of Defect | The weakened area is reinforced using sutures or a synthetic mesh patch. |
| Closure and Monitoring | Incisions are sealed with sutures or clips. The doctor observes vital signs, pain control, and wound stability. |
Postoperative care, including mobility guidance and wound management, is essential for successful outcomes. Most patients are able to resume normal activities within a few weeks.
| Stage | Milestones and Care Instructions |
| Day 0–1 | Monitoring of vital signs. Light activity encouraged. Treatment for discomfort was administered. |
| Days 1–3 | Mild soreness and slight swelling. Gentle walking is encouraged. Most patients are discharged within a day. |
| Week 1–2 | Pain reduces significantly. You can resume light work or driving with your doctor’s approval. |
| Week 3–4 | Light household tasks are resumed. Activity restrictions remain for strenuous movements and lifting. |
| Week 5–6 | Most physical activities are restored. Healing of the incision and reduction in swelling are expected. |
| After 6 weeks | Most people return to full activity with complete healing. |
The average cost of laparoscopic hernia surgery in India is ₹60,000 to ₹1,20,000. It varies by city, hospital, and case complexity.

In rare cases where infection or implant-related complications arise, mesh may need surgical removal. Laparoscopic mesh infection rates are around 1.5% for ventral repairs and are significantly lower than those of open procedures.
Meta‑analyses indicate a lower incidence of wound infection and hematoma following laparoscopic repair. However, perioperative morbidity may be slightly higher in laparoscopic cases compared to open repair.
Laparoscopic methods are associated with a roughly 34 percent reduction in chronic groin pain compared to open mesh procedures.
Operating time is generally longer with laparoscopic instruments. However, hospitals report average reductions in hospital stay by around three days compared with open surgery.
A large observational study found that laparoscopic repair had nearly double the hazard of reoperation for recurrence compared to open methods (hazard ratio ~1.83).
For repairs using intraperitoneal onlay mesh, laparoscopic techniques achieved similar long‑term recurrence rates (about 20 percent at ~5 years) with lower complication rates and shorter stays.
Network reviews demonstrate that laparoscopic repair reduces the risk of surgical site infections by approximately 78 percent compared to open repair methods.
Urinary retention occurs at similar rates between laparoscopic and open methods and is more often related to anaesthetic agents than surgical approach.
Visualization of the entire groin region allows simultaneous repair of multiple defects during laparoscopic surgery, potentially reducing future hernias in adjacent regions.
Among over 100,000 hernia operations, the risk of mesh explantation due to infection within five years was notably higher following ventral procedures, with open repairs carrying greater odds than laparoscopic ones.
