Laparoscopic herniorrhaphy is a minimally invasive surgery used to repair a hernia. This happens when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. Instead of making one large cut, the surgeon makes a few small incisions and inserts a laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera and light, to clearly see the hernia on a screen. Special instruments are then used to strengthen and repair the weak area, often with the help of a surgical mesh. Because the cuts are small, patients usually have less pain, recover faster, and return to normal activities sooner compared to traditional open surgery.
