Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery. The essence of the method is that access to the hernia area is achieved through several small punctures in the abdominal wall, each about 5–10 mm long. A miniature video camera and surgical instruments are inserted through the tiny holes. The surgeon carefully removes the hernia and strengthens the weakened tissue using a mesh, similar to the Lichtenstein method, but inside the patient's body.
The advantages of the laparoscopic method are the rapid recovery of patients, the absence of pronounced scars and a lower risk of possible complications.
Traditional open operations according to Bassini and Shouldice
Bassini and Shouldice operations are traditional methods of hernia treatment aimed at strengthening the inguinal canal. They are most often used in complex clinical cases when, for certain reasons, minimally invasive techniques cannot be used.
The Bassini operation involves strengthening the inguinal canal by suturing the patient's own tissues. The Shouldice operation additionally uses a mesh implant. Both methods require open access, so the surgery is performed under general anesthesia or using spinal anesthesia.

Causes and Symptoms of Inguinal Hernia
The key causes of inguinal hernia:
- Genetic predisposition: having first-degree relatives suffering from this pathology increases the risk of developing the disease
- Excessive physical activity: lifting weights, intense work, regular exercise that overloads the abdominal muscles
- Obesity: excess weight increases the load on the anterior abdominal wall, contributes to increased pressure inside the abdominal cavity and provokes weakening of the muscular frame
- Chronic prostate adenoma: as a result of an enlarged prostate, urination becomes difficult, the man is forced to strain to empty the bladder, which also leads to an increase in intra-abdominal pressure
The symptoms of an inguinal hernia depend on the size of the formation, localization and development of complications. The main signs of the pathology:
- The appearance of a rounded formation in the groin area, which increases with straining, coughing, and physical exertion. At the same time, in a lying position, the protrusion may become smaller or disappear completely
- A feeling of heaviness, distension, tingling or burning at the site of the protrusion: symptoms worsen when walking, lifting weights, playing sports
- Disruption of the gastrointestinal tract: when the digestive system organs are compressed by a hernia, constipation, bloating, and a feeling of discomfort may occur
When the first alarming symptoms appear, you should consult a doctor for examination and treatment.

What is an inguinal hernia?
An inguinal hernia is a pathology in which fragments of internal organs come out through a weakened anterior abdominal wall in the inguinal canal. At first, the neoplasm may be insignificant and not cause serious discomfort. Therefore, most often, patients pay attention to the problem in cases where it already significantly reduces the quality of life.
Due to the anatomical features of the body, inguinal hernia is diagnosed mainly in men. Without timely treatment, the pathology progresses and leads to complications that are dangerous to health.
