For mild hernia symptoms in your lower abdomen, your doctor may recommend surgery, and you've mentioned open, laparoscopic, and robotic procedures. Open surgery involves a larger incision to repair the hernia, while laparoscopic and robotic surgeries use smaller incisions and specialized instruments. The best approach depends on the specific hernia, your overall health, and the surgeon's expertise.
