A STUDY OF MINIMAL INVASIVE OPEN HERNIA REPAIR VS LAP HERNIA REPAIR

Sandeep K K

Abstract


Most of the publications in the last few years have been dominated by laparoscopic hernia repair. This study and presentation of over 5 years is to analyse and prove that invasive hernia repair is equally effective in all prospects compared to its counterpart.

 


Keywords


invasive hernia repair, laparoscopic hernia repair.
