DRHC has the best hernia surgeons in Dubai. With the phenomenal medical advances over the past several decades, not only has the diagnosis of hernia become a lot easier but the methods of treating it are also less complicated.


Types of Hernia Surgeries:

There are two main types of surgical procedures adapted for the rectification of Hernia. which are either the laparoscopic Hernia Surgery or the open Hernia Surgery technique

  • Over the years a serious debate has ensued within the medical fraternity about which technique is the best not only in terms of efficiency but also for minimizing the chances of recurrence of the Hernia.
  • However, rather than focusing on the superiority of one procedure over another, it is important to have an individualistic approach to each surgery and the difference between both and the advantages they offer.

Differences between Laparoscopic and Open Hernia Surgery Repair:

Both the laparoscopic technique and open surgery techniques for Hernia repair are known to offer excellent results. However, the two techniques differ in certain subtle aspects which are discussed as follows along with their individual advantages.

Open Surgery Technique: This technique is the preferred option for hernia repair and is carried out under local anesthesia with sedation. The surgery is done with the help of standard surgical equipment and by cutting open the muscles just above the weakness in the abdominal wall. The surgery lasts for around 30-45 minutes and patients can resume their normal activities with

in 1-3 weeks.

  • Laparoscopic Technique: It is a more advanced technique. It requires the administration of complete general anesthesia and the hernia is repaired from the inside with the help of advanced laparoscopic instruments, through a small cut at the place of the Hernia, where the abdomen is insufflated with gas (CO2), an Endoscope, and surgical instruments are inserted through small holes in the abdominal wall, then release the hernial sack away from the muscles of the abdominal wall, and finally close the defect in the muscles and support it with a mesh. The total time required for the surgery is about 50-60 minutes.
  • The laparoscopic technique is generally preferred by patients more than the open surgery method, it has a lower recovery time, less pain, a smaller scar, less trauma, and fewer complications in the short & long term.
