Patients will be given general anaesthesia for the laparoscopic procedure. They will create 3 to 4 keyholes on the abdomen. They will insert a laparoscope, a narrow tube with a tiny camera on the end. The surgeon repairs a hernia and applies mesh to the hernia and with a laparoscope as a guide.

Open Umbilical Hernia Repair
