Please ask the surgeon of your choice. There are many ways that this surgery can be done, but the one that is done on you will be the one that you will want to know about.
Abdominal wall hernias, laparoscopic surgery can be performed, resulting in quicker recovery.
Depends on the size and the location of the hernia. I prefer a minimally invasive robotic approach.
The procedure will more than likely be performed laparoscopically. Please watch video on You Tube and read on Wikipedia for simplistic explanation of procedure.
The two methods of hernia repair are open (with a long incision) or minimally invasive (with several small incisions). The size of your hernia, the specific location, and any previous surgery may dictate how your procedure is to be performed. Your surgeon should talk to you about your options.
