The traditional surgical method is to cut a wound in the affected area of the hernia. The hernia sac is usually removed, and the protruding tissue is pushed back into the abdominal cavity. Then proceed to repair the abdominal wall. The doctor pulls the muscles around the opening or weakness of the abdominal wall to cover the defect, and uses several sutures to sew and fix the muscles. This method directly sutures the tissues, and the pain after the operation is stronger, the recurrence rate is higher, and the patient's recovery time is longer.
However, tension-free hernia repair using artificially implanted double-layer repair devices only requires a surgical incision about 4 to 6 cm long. If the hernia repair is performed laparoscopically, it will leave 3 puncture wounds in the abdomen.
