What is Closed Hernia Surgery?
Closed hernia surgery, also known as laparoscopic hernia surgery, is a minimally invasive surgical method used in hernia treatment. A hernia is a condition in which an organ or tissue in the body protrudes from a weak spot in the body. Hernias in the abdomen are the most common type and are usually classified as inguinal hernias, umbilical hernias and ventral hernias. Closed hernia surgery is used to treat these types of hernias and allows the surgeon to access the inside with only small incisions. This method offers less pain, shorter recovery time and lower risk of complications.

How is Closed Hernia Surgery Performed?
Closed hernia surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen and uses laparoscopic instruments and a camera to access the hernia site. The images from the camera allow the surgeon to see the area in high resolution so that a more precise intervention can be performed.

1. Preparation and Anesthesia: The general health status of the patient is evaluated before the operation and general anesthesia is applied.
2. Surgical Process: Small incisions are made and a camera (laparoscope) is inserted. Through the camera, the surgeon views the hernia area on a screen and repairs the damaged tissue. If necessary, the hernia is repaired with a mesh or stitches placed in the hernia area.
3. Recovery: Patients can usually be discharged the same day after surgery. In closed hernia surgery, the recovery time is much shorter and patients can return to their daily activities within a few days.

Conditions and Symptoms Requiring Closed Hernia Surgery
Closed hernia surgery is preferred for patients at risk of hernia progression or complications. Hernia usually manifests itself with the following symptoms:

• Pain and discomfort: Swelling and pain at the hernia site. Pain that increases especially with physical activity.
• Swelling A prominent swelling in the abdomen, groin or around the navel.
• Protrusion of internal organs: The hernia becomes more serious and the organs protrude (this is called “visceral strangulation”).
• Digestive problems: Hernias in the abdominal wall can affect the digestive system.

Advantages of Closed Hernia Surgery
The biggest advantage of closed hernia surgery is the patient’s rapid recovery. It offers the following advantages over other traditional open surgical methods:

• Smaller incisions: Because it is a minimally invasive procedure, incisions of only a few millimeters are made.
• Less pain: Postoperative pain is less due to small incisions.
• Fast recovery time: Patients can be discharged sooner and return to their daily activities more quickly.
• Low risk of infection: The risk of infection is lower due to the small incisions.
• Less scarring: It leaves much less scarring than traditional open surgery.
