A member asked:
Please help docs! is open or laproscopic the best hernia surgery to have ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depend...: Repair inguinal hernia by open or lap? That depends on the size of hernia, surgeon's expertise and patient wish, etc. Generally speaking, smaller size tends to be repaired laparoscopically; big sized hernia, by open. But the limit of lap inguinal hernia repair is being pushed and expanding. So, ask surgeon to find out a reasonable approach to suit your need.
