What Are Laparoscopic Hernia Surgeries?

Laparoscopic hernia surgery is a minimally invasive approach to repairing hernias using small incisions, a camera (laparoscope), and specialized instruments. This technique offers significant advantages over traditional open surgery, including less pain, faster recovery, smaller scars, and reduced risk of infection.

Dr. Surendra Pal Jakhar is an expert in advanced laparoscopic hernia repair techniques, including TAPP, eTEP, eTEP-RS, IPOM, IPOM-Plus, and TAR. These procedures are tailored to the specific type and location of the hernia, ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients.

TAPP (Transabdominal Preperitoneal)

TAPP is a laparoscopic technique used primarily for inguinal hernia repair. The surgeon accesses the hernia through the abdominal cavity, places a mesh in the preperitoneal space, and reinforces the weakened area. TAPP offers excellent visualization and is ideal for bilateral or recurrent inguinal hernias.

eTEP (Extended Totally Extraperitoneal)

eTEP is an advanced laparoscopic technique that repairs hernias entirely outside the peritoneal cavity. This approach is particularly useful for large ventral, incisional, and complex hernias. The eTEP technique minimizes intra-abdominal complications and allows for the repair of multiple defects through a single approach.

eTEP-RS (eTEP with Rectus Sheath)

eTEP-RS is a variation of the eTEP technique that involves creating a space within the rectus sheath. This approach is especially effective for midline hernias and allows for the placement of a large mesh to reinforce the entire abdominal wall. eTEP-RS is known for its excellent cosmetic results and low recurrence rates.

IPOM (Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh)

IPOM is a laparoscopic technique for ventral and incisional hernias where the mesh is placed inside the peritoneal cavity, directly over the hernia defect. The mesh is fixed to the abdominal wall using specialized tackers or sutures. IPOM is a versatile technique suitable for small to medium-sized hernias.

IPOM-Plus

IPOM-Plus is an enhanced version of the IPOM technique that includes closure of the fascial defect before mesh placement. This approach reduces the risk of seroma formation and mesh bulging, providing better long-term outcomes. IPOM-Plus is particularly beneficial for large ventral hernias.

TAR (Transversus Abdominis Release)

TAR is a advanced surgical technique used for complex ventral and incisional hernias. It involves releasing the transversus abdominis muscle to create a large preperitoneal space for mesh placement. TAR allows for the repair of large defects with minimal tension and is often combined with eTEP for optimal results.
