HerniaDuring laparoscopic surgery, we make a small ½ inch cut in the skin at the belly button. Then a cannula (thin tube) is introduced in between the muscle fibres without cutting any of the muscle. Through the cannula, the laparoscope is inserted into the patient's body. It is equipped with a tiny camera and light source that allows it to send images through a fibre-optic cord to a television monitor. 
The television monitor shows a high resolution magnified image. Watching the monitor, the surgeon can perform the procedure. While looking inside the patient, further two ½" diameter cannulas are put in. This way, the already weak muscles are not disturbed and the net is placed through the half inch holes that are away from the hernia. Thus there is minimal disturbance to the normal body physiology and as a result the pain is minimal and very little rest is required. Also the hernia that is going out from the tummy is pulled back in rather than pushed in from outside as is done in an 'open' operation. There are more and more reports now from the USA and Europe showing the success of this technique in reducing post operative pain, rest and recurrence rates |
