A laparoscope, a narrow, telescope-like equipment, is used in laparoscopic (minimally invasive) hernia repair. It is inserted through a tiny incision at the umbilicus (belly button). Before the surgery, you will undergo a general health assessment that includes a history, physical exam (and potentially lab testing), and an electrocardiogram because this treatment is typically performed under general anesthesia. You can consult our laparoscopic surgeon in Pune for complete information!
