Keyhole laparoscopic is a great advancement in many areas of surgery, but for hernias, we have found better results from open surgery which then don't have the risks that come with laparoscopic surgery. Open surgery for hernia's can be performed under local anaesthetic, unlike laparoscopic keyhole surgery which is performed under general anaesthesia which does carry additional risks. Each surgeon will have their own preferences to how they choose to perform hernia surgery and this will be fully explained during your no-obligation consultation. Overall, it is not possible for a hernia to treat itself, so over time, there is a risk that it will get bigger and in some cases become painful. The longer they are left, the more risk there is for complications such as strangulation or obstruction which may then require emergency surgery.
