I've been having mild hernia symptoms in my lower abdomen and my doctor mentioned surgery might be needed. I've heard about open, laparoscopic, and robotic options can you explain which one might be best for my case?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.
