Irreducible Inguinal Hernia
USG Report says that I have "right irreducible inguinal hernia containing omentum".
Many told that I should go for open surgery. Why not laparoscopy?
Welcome
Good afternoon
1. You have right irreducible inguinal hernia containing omentum.
2. Should go for open surgery, why not laparoscopically???
Studies show ......
1. Laparoscopic surgery is basically for uncomplicated inguinal hernia.
2. General Anaesthesia (GA) is must for laparoscopic surgery, whereas open surgery can be done under GA, SA(Spinal Anaesthesia), LA(Local Anesthesia).
3. Intra-operative & post operative complications are more with laparoscopic surgery.
4. Intra operative conversion rate from laparoscopic surgery to open surgery is more in complicated inguinal hernia.
5. Highly skilled & experienced Surgeon is again a requirement.
Thanks
Regards

First of all is it painful??
Laparoscopy can be done. Chances of converting it to open surgery is there coz it's irreducible hernia which may be bit difficult to tackle laparoscopicaly.
But to answer to question h can undergo laparoscopic surgery.
