Herniorrhaphy is a surgical procedure in which a hernia is repaired. There are different versions of this procedure, each with its own benefits and risks. Choosing which version is appropriate for each patient is essential to ensure a good outcome from the procedure. It is important that patients are informed to make the ideal decisions.
The open approach is the oldest herniorrhaphy technique, but it is still widely used. An incision in the abdominal wall is necessary, allowing for manual manipulation to repair the hernia. The great benefit of this approach is that the patient can get quick results and minimize their hospital stay.
Another technical version of herniorrhaphy is laparoscopy. It is a procedure where the hernia is repaired through small incisions in the skin through which surgical instruments are inserted for repair. The risk carriers are significantly reduced and the recovery time is considerably shorter than the open surgical approach. However, laparoscopy can be a much more expensive procedure and require more time and effort from the surgeon.
