Hernia Treatment Options

Laparoscopic Surgery

While open surgery is an effective treatment option for people with a hernia, it involves the making of a large cut and increases the risk of some complications. As said above, many people often experience muscle weakness after this procedure. Fortunately, there is another choice that can help prevent this problem. Instead of making a large cut, the doctor can make several smaller cuts with laparoscopic surgery. This procedure can be done with the help of a laparoscope, a small camera attached to a thin, long tube. It helps the surgeon have a look inside your body without needing to open up the body. [2]
