Which method of surgery is better laparoscopic or open surgery for inguinal hernia (on one side only)? What are the risks associated with the above.
open is better safe accurate and with minimum anasthesia
Go for open surgery
both procedure are for hernia repair he has to select which method he select.merit and demerits are always discussed during inform consent.
Open surgery
Open surgery
Asa it depends on the size and duration. Laparoscopic repair requires the right equipment otherwise leads to reverence. Open is trusted and robust as compared.
Thanks for consultation.Choice of method for inguinal hernia repair depends on few factors.For recurrent and bilateral (both sides) hernia laparoscopic approach is better.For unilateral and non complicated hernias open and laparoscopic both approaches are equally goodHowever, Surgeons preference and competence in one method is very important this is what I believe.In my opinon and practice in all non complicated hernias laparoscopic surgery has an edge over open repairThanks
