A step-by-step look at what happens during this procedure.
Three to four tiny incisions (5-10mm) are made in the abdominal wall to access the hernia site.
A laparoscope with a high-definition camera is inserted to visualize the hernia and surrounding structures on a monitor.
The herniated tissue or organs are carefully pushed back into their proper position within the abdominal cavity.
A surgical mesh is positioned over the weakened abdominal wall area to reinforce and strengthen the repair.
The mesh is secured with surgical tacks or sutures, and the small incisions are closed with dissolvable stitches or surgical glue.
