Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves the use of a laparoscope and specialized instruments to repair an inguinal hernia. An inguinal hernia occurs when a part of the intestine or other abdominal contents protrude through a weakened area in the lower abdominal wall, specifically in the inguinal canal. The laparoscopic approach aims to reduce postoperative pain, recovery time, and the risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery.
