Lap hernia repair: CT scan does not always show an internal hernia. If you're having symptoms, then you probably need surgery. It can be done laparoscopically, through small incisions. It involves returning the bowel to its normal position and closing the hole on the inside through which the bowel migrated. Lap internal hernia repair typically is well tolerated. Internal hernias after a B2 are not uncommon.
