Who is this surgery for?
- Symptomatic inguinal (groin) or femoral hernia causing pain or discomfort.
- Ventral hernias, including umbilical, incisional, or epigastric hernias.
- A hernia that is increasing in size or becoming irreducible (cannot be pushed back in).
- Risk of strangulation, where blood supply to the herniated tissue is cut off (a surgical emergency).
- Hernias that interfere with daily activities, work, or exercise.
- Recurrent hernias that have returned after a previous open repair.
- Patient preference for a minimally invasive approach with a quicker recovery.
How to prepare
- Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including blood tests and possibly an ECG or chest X-ray.
- Discuss all current medications (especially blood thinners like aspirin or warfarin) with your surgeon; some may need to be temporarily stopped.
- Inform the surgeon of any allergies, particularly to anesthesia or mesh materials.
- Fast (no food or drink) for 6-8 hours before the scheduled surgery time.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure and assist you for the first 24 hours.
- Shower with an antibacterial soap the night before or morning of surgery.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing to the hospital on the day of surgery.
Risks & possible complications
- General anesthesia risks (e.g., allergic reaction, breathing problems).
- Bleeding or hematoma (collection of blood) at the incision sites.
- Infection at the incision sites or in the deeper surgical area.
- Injury to nearby structures such as the bladder, intestines, blood vessels, or nerves.
- Chronic pain or numbness in the groin or surgical area (post-herniorrhaphy neuralgia).
- Recurrence of the hernia, though the risk is low with mesh reinforcement.
- Rare complications related to the mesh, such as migration, shrinkage, or foreign body reaction.
- Urinary retention (difficulty passing urine) immediately after surgery.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Most patients go home the same day or after a 1-night hospital stay.
- Manage pain with prescribed medications; discomfort typically subsides significantly within a few days.
- Keep incision sites clean and dry; you may shower 24-48 hours after surgery.
- Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting (more than 10-15 lbs), and vigorous exercise for 2-4 weeks.

Pari Mehta, 29, is a software...
Pari Mehta, 29, is a software developer and avid rock climber. During a intense climbing session, she felt a 'pop' and sudden pain in her abdomen. A small, tender bulge confirmed an umbilical hernia, likely from a combination of congenital weakness and core strain. For a year, she managed it, but it began to limit her climbing and cause discomfort during long hours at her desk. Her surgeon, Dr. Rodriguez, explained that laparoscopic repair would be ideal for her active lifestyle, offering minimal scarring and a quicker return to sport. Pari was highly motivated but nervous about permanent limitations. The surgery was outpatient. The recovery was frustratingly slow for her driven personality; the 4-6 week ban on climbing felt like an eternity. However, she focused on prescribed walking and core rehab. By week 8, she was tentatively back on the wall, pain-free. Emotionally, she transitioned from frustration to patience and finally to triumph. The procedure didn't just fix a hernia; it restored her passion and identity as an athlete, freeing her from the constant mental calculation of what her body could handle.
