Why is laparoscopic hernia repair better than open surgery?
Although the effectiveness of both methods is similar, the difference lies in the surgical approach and the postoperative side effects. The approach of laparoscopic hernia surgery is much simpler than open surgery. No big size cuts are made in case of laparoscopic surgery, unlike open surgery. As such, the postoperative recovery in laparoscopic surgery is much quicker and easier as compared to open surgery. There is no blood loss in the laparoscopic process and the wound heals in a much shorter time. Surgeries performed with the laparoscopic approach are much more precise and hence medical professionals consider it to be a better surgical method.
