How a hernia looks like?

Hernia treatment – Laparoscopic Surgery
Over the past twenty years the laparoscopic repair of the hernia, becomes more and more popular. For many surgeons, the laparoscopic access has been replaced the open surgery. The laparoscopic technique has the following advantages:

• Non post-operative pain

• Rapid Recovery

• Immediate return to daily routine and work

• Excellent aesthetic result

 

The correction of the most common of the hernias(inguinal hernia) is only surgical. The recent years the laparoscopic repair of the hernia has become more popular and especially the method of TEP(TOTAL EXTRA PERITONEAL REPAIR) with plexus placement, constitutes the most trustworthy laparoscopic and endoscopic intervention without some device inserted into the ventricle. It is the ideal method to repair the recurrence of the operated inguinal hernia. The probability of serious relapses using the TEP method is extremely small.

 

The laparoscopic extra peritoneal repair of inguinal hernia with plexus placement is the most innovative and offers the best results.
