  4. Later, the muscle area where the hernia is pushed through will be closed by stitches.
  5. If the Hernia is large, then the surgeon will place a flexible mesh for support and helps to keep the hernia from coming back.

Steps involved in Laparoscopic Herniotomy are:

  4. A tube that consists of a tiny camera at the end of it will be used to take images. This tube is called a laparoscope.
