Hernias - including inguinal, umbilical, incisional, and epigastric - do not resolve on their own and carry the risk of strangulation if left unrepaired when symptomatic. Dr. Lokesh H M performs laparoscopic hernia repair at Narayana Multispeciality Hospital and RK Speciality Clinic, Vijayanagar, Mysuru, using a mesh reinforcement approach that reduces the risk of recurrence compared to primary suture repair. The laparoscopic technique places the mesh through small incisions under direct camera vision, with lower rates of chronic groin pain and faster recovery than traditional open repair. For patients with bilateral inguinal hernias, both sides are repaired through the same small incisions in one procedure - a particular advantage of the laparoscopic approach. Most patients return to light activity within one to two weeks.
