of Hernia, its location, size, recurrence status and the patient\u2019s overall Health.
Here\u2019s an overview of the main Laparoscopic techniques he performs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.TEP-TOTALLY EXTRAPERITONEAL REPAIR<\/strong>
Best for Inguinal and Femoral Hernia
This techniques avoids entering the abdominal cavity
The Hernia is accessed and repaired in the pre-peritoneal space
A synthetic Mesh is placed behind the abdominal muscles to reinforce the wall.
ADVANTAGES:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2.TAPP \u2013 TRANSABDOMINAL PREPERITONEAL REPAIR<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Best for: Bilateral or recurrent inguinal hernias
    The surgeon enters the peritoneal cavity and then creates a space behind the
    abdominal wall to place the mesh.
    Allows direct visualization of both groin areas, making it ideal for treating
    bilateral hernias in one go.
    ADVANTAGES<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Excellent view of the anatomy<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Treats multiple or recurrent hernias<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Can identify other undiagnosed hernias during surgery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      3.IPOM \u2013 INTRAPERITONEAL ONLAY MESH REPAIR<\/strong>
      Best for: Ventral, umbilical, incisional, and complex abdominal wall hernias
      Mesh is placed inside the peritoneal cavity, directly over the hernia defect.
      Secured with tacks or sutures
      Often used in large or multiple hernia defects, or where other techniques aren\u2019t
      feasible.
      ADVANTAGES:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
