Open vs Laparoscopic Hernia Repair Surgery in Hindi | Which Hernia Repair Surgery is the Best?

To understand hernia better, let's compare it to a puncture in a tire. Just as a tubeless tire puncture can be easily and quickly fixed from the outside, this method is often preferred because it's convenient, quick, and cost-effective. However, if the puncture keeps recurring or isn't fixed properly, a technician may advise repairing it from the inside. Though this method is more challenging, time-consuming, and costly, it significantly reduces the chance of future punctures.

Similarly, in hernia surgery, placing a mesh internally offers better support and reduces the risk of recurrence. Studies show that this risk can be up to 10 times lower compared to open hernia repair. However, the downside is that this method is more expensive due to the high cost of the mesh used. Laparoscopic surgery, in general, is costlier than open surgery but offers several advantages.

The biggest advantage is the significantly reduced risk of hernia recurrence. Additionally, the incisions made during laparoscopic surgery are smaller, allowing the mesh to be inserted through a small hole, and usually, no drainage pipe is needed. This is why most patients are discharged on the same day and can quickly return to their normal activities.

The increased cost of laparoscopic surgery is due to the expensive mesh, which includes a barrier mesh with a biological film on one side to prevent it from sticking to the intestines. If small tackers are used to fix the mesh, their cost also adds up, increasing the total expense of the operation. While open surgery can be performed under spinal anesthesia with just an injection in the back, laparoscopic surgery requires general anesthesia, further adding to the cost. The tools used in laparoscopic surgery are also more expensive, slightly raising the overall cost.

However, our recommendation is that if you can afford it or have health insurance, you should definitely opt for laparoscopic hernia surgery. It offers numerous advantages and will allow you to live a much better life. Thank you.
