THIS IS THE VENTRAL HERNIA AFTER A LAPAROSCOPIC REPAIR
This is a hernia that is acquired or just a defect from birth. The acquired are usually from previous surgery and are in the site of a previous incision. Either way they are repaired using the same technique. After 11 years repairing these defects I believe that there is a benefit doing it the laparoscopic way if feasible. This is different from the inguinal hernias though. Come to my website for more information or ask questions. DRLUGO.com

Now a days people want the latest and the best. Well these two words are not synonymous. We have to be careful and make sure that recommend to our patients the best procedure and not just the newest. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia is an example of this dilemma. If you have questions please visit my website DRLUGO.com
