The minimally invasive laparoscopic approach to abdominal wall hernias offers numerous advantages over traditional open surgery. This method uses small incisions through which surgical instruments and a camera are inserted, allowing the surgeon to repair the hernia with precision. Benefits include less postoperative pain, faster recovery, and a reduced risk of infection and complications. In addition, the use of state-of-the-art adhesive meshes, which do not require fixation with mechanical devices, contributes significantly to decreasing postoperative pain and speeding up the return to normal activities. This approach is especially useful for recurrent and bilateral hernias, providing effective results and high patient satisfaction. Dr. Alexander Murillo Varanovskaia, a specialist in General and Abdominal Wall Surgery in Panama City, talks to us about this topic.
