Description

Incisional hernia is a common complication following abdominal surgery, where the abdominal wall weakens at the site of a previous incision, leading to protrusion of internal organs or tissues. Traditionally, open surgical repair was the standard approach, but with the advent of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic repair of incisional hernia has emerged as a safe, effective, and patient-friendly alternative. At World Laparoscopy Hospital (WLH), under the guidance of Dr. R.K. Mishra, laparoscopic repair of incisional hernia is performed using advanced techniques that reduce patient discomfort, minimize complications, and ensure faster recovery. Why Choose Laparoscopic Repair? Minimally Invasive Approach: Small incisions are used, which reduces post-operative pain and scarring. Faster Recovery: Patients can resume normal activities within a shorter time compared to open surgery. Lower Recurrence Rate: Placement of a mesh through laparoscopic methods strengthens the abdominal wall and reduces the chance of hernia recurrence. Reduced Risk of Infection: Smaller wounds minimize exposure and infection risk. Enhanced Visualization: High-definition cameras allow precise identification and repair of the hernia defect. Procedure Overview The patient is placed under general anesthesia. Small keyhole incisions are made in the abdominal wall. A laparoscope (a thin, high-definition camera) is inserted, allowing the surgeon to visualize the hernia and surrounding tissues. The hernial sac is reduced, and adhesions are carefully dissected. A synthetic mesh is placed over the defect and secured, reinforcing the abdominal wall. The incisions are closed with minimal suturing. Post-Operative Care Patients typically experience minimal pain and can often walk the same day. Hospital stay is generally shorter, often 1–2 days depending on the case. Regular follow-up ensures optimal healing and monitors for any complications. Why WLH?
