Laparoscopic hernia repair

A hernia is the passage of part of the abdominal contents through a weak point in the wall, most often at the groin (inguinal hernia) or the navel. Laparoscopic repair corrects this weakness from the inside, through small incisions, by positioning a mesh reinforcement that durably strengthens the wall. This minimally invasive approach offers appreciated advantages: reduced post-operative pain, discreet scars, and a rapid return to walking and normal activities. It is particularly valuable for hernias on both sides, treated during the same operation, and for recurrences after conventional surgery. At Clinique Pasteur Tunis, laparoscopic hernia repair is performed with a short hospital stay, often as day surgery, by surgeons highly experienced in abdominal wall repair techniques. The choice of technique is discussed with each patient during the consultation.
