Overall Laparoscopic Surgery has very less complication rates as compared to open surgery in terms of infection & pain.

Surgery is quite safe in experienced hands but still some people may have the following
1)Immediate
– Infection or Pus Formation ( More in Open Hernia )
– Seroma or Fluid collection
– Bleeding
– Bowel Obstruction
– Urinary retention
– Pain
2)Delayed
– Pain
– Recurrence 1- 3 %

Healthy diet to lose weight
Strict Sugar Control to reduce infection
Early surgery has better results in Less Pain, Better Safety & Fast recovery

It gets Bigger with time & so are its complications

  • Bowel Obstruction & Gangrene 
  • Perforation
  • Infection
  • Pain
  • Obesity ( BMI more than 30 )
  • Diabetes
  • Smoking
  • Wound site pus formation or infection
  • Ascites

Incidence is 10 to 28 % at birth & reduces to 2 to 8 % at 1 year.

This means most of them sponatneously regress or decrease with time

Conservative management is dictum & only larger defects or special situations will warrant early closure as determined by surgeon. 

 

In childhood, Only suture closure is choice & mesh or net is best avoided

Most of the repair are attempted at age of 4 to 6 years
