Hernia Repair

Hernia repair is a surgical procedure used to treat inguinal hernias, which occur when part of the intestine or abdominal tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. Inguinal hernias are most commonly found in the groin area and can cause pain, discomfort, and other complications if left untreated. Laparoscopic hernia repair is a minimally invasive technique that uses small incisions and a camera-guided instrument to repair the hernia, resulting in less pain and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. At Revere Health, our surgical team specializes in hernia repair to help patients return to normal activities safely and comfortably.

When Is Hernia Repair Recommended?
Hernia repair is typically recommended for patients experiencing:

Pain or Discomfort: Worsens with activity, lifting, or prolonged standing.
Visible Bulge: In the groin or abdomen that may disappear when lying down.
Nausea or Constipation: If the hernia obstructs part of the intestine.
Hernia Complications: Risk of strangulation (cutting off blood flow to the intestine).

What to Expect During Laparoscopic Hernia Repair
Preparation: Patients will receive instructions on fasting and medication adjustments before surgery.
Procedure: Performed under general anesthesia, small incisions are made in the abdomen, and a laparoscope (tiny camera) is used to guide the repair. The surgeon inserts mesh to reinforce the abdominal wall, reducing the risk of recurrence.
Recovery: Most patients can return home the same day and resume light activities within a few days, with full recovery typically in 1-2 weeks.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Repair
Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions lead to less pain and scarring.
Faster Recovery: Shorter downtime compared to open surgery.
Lower Risk of Infection: Reduced complications and quicker healing.
