Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • The laparoscope, invented in the early 20th century, has enabled minimally invasive surgical techniques.
  • Laparoscopic hernia repair was first performed in 1990, introducing a less invasive approach to a common surgical procedure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current evidence supporting laparoscopic hernia repair.
  • To examine existing guidelines for the utilization of laparoscopic hernia repair surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current evidence.
  • Analysis of established surgical guidelines.

Main Results:

  • Open hernia surgery remains the predominant method despite nearly two decades of laparoscopic techniques.
