A member asked:
Is open or lapriscopic surgery better for umbilical hernia? soreness/recovery? is bloating bad from lapriscopic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The surgery offered: will depend upon the size of the defect. There is usually some "bloating" after laprascopic surgery due to air which is inserted during the procedure, HOWEVER this is minimal and temporary! Hope this helps Dr Z
