Conventional
- This is a hernia repair surgery combined with strengthening the abdominal wall by suturing or using mesh reinforcement.
- More postoperative wound pain.
- Inguinal scar about 4-5 centimeters.
- Recovery time 3-7 days.
- Slower return to work and normal upright walking.
- The sutured tissue may be very tight and may tear apart (in cases where the abdominal wall is repaired by suturing, there is a higher chance of recurrence).
Laparoscopic
- Three small incisions.
- Incision size 0.5 – 1 centimeter.
- Uses high-standard instruments.
- Strengthens the abdominal wall with mesh from inside the abdominal cavity, reducing the chance of recurrence.
- Recovery time 1-2 days.
