A thin tube, containing a light and a video camera is inserted inside the abdomen and pelvis to detect and visualize on a monitor to look inside the body. The surgeon incises multiple small cuts, instead of incising single large cut. The cut is approximately 6-12 inches long. Hernias on both sides can be repaired at the same time and with the same incision. Patients are advised to do light activities after the surgery for up to 1-2 weeks.
