Introduction

Minimally invasive surgery for hernia refers to hernia repair performed under laparoscopic guidance, characterized by minimal trauma, rapid recovery, and mild postoperative pain. This procedure requires a certain level of expertise; therefore, if surgery is needed, it is recommended to go to a正规 hospital and have the operation performed under the guidance of a qualified physician to reduce surgical risks. After surgery, adequate rest is important, along with proper wound care, to prevent infection.

Generally, minimally invasive hernia surgery refers to hernia repair performed under laparoscopic guidance, characterized by minimal trauma, rapid recovery, and mild postoperative pain. The specific procedure is as follows:

1. The patient is placed in the supine position and administered general anesthesia.

2. After anesthesia takes effect, routine disinfection of the abdominal area is performed, followed by draping.

3. A 1 cm incision is made at the lower edge of the umbilicus. A Veress needle is inserted to establish a pneumoperitoneum, and the laparoscope is then connected.

4. Two additional incisions are made—one in the middle-lower third and another in the upper third along the line connecting the umbilicus and pubic symphysis—to insert surgical instruments.

5. Under laparoscopic visualization, the hernia sac is located and dissected using appropriate surgical instruments.

6. Depending on the size of the local defect, a suitable mesh is placed between the hernia sac and the abdominal wall and secured in position.

7. The laparoscope and surgical instruments are withdrawn, and the incisions are sutured closed.

This procedure requires specialized expertise. If surgery is needed, it is recommended to visit a qualified hospital and have the procedure performed under the guidance of a skilled surgeon to minimize surgical risks. Postoperatively, adequate rest is advised, along with careful wound care to prevent infection.

Bulge still present after minimally invasive hernia surgery

Under normal circumstances, the presence of a bulge after minimally invasive hernia surgery may be caused by factors such as residual hernia sac tissue, infection, local hernia recurrence, inflammatory edema, or scar adhesions. In summary, if patients experience discomfort, they should seek timely medical attention at a hospital and receive treatment under the guidance of a physician. Self-medication should be avoided to prevent delays in proper diagnosis and management.
