View allI have an 11 mm supra umbilical hernia and need to decide between laparoscopic surgery with 2 ports and a 10-15 mm incision or open surgery. Both seem to have similar pain levels post-op. From a medical standpoint, which option would be better for me?
For an 11 mm supraumbilical hernia, laparoscopic surgery with two ports and a 10-15 mm incision is generally considered the better option from a medical standpoint.

I have a pilonidal sinus that came back after having laser surgery in 2015. This time it's not as bad pus discharged three times, but now the hole is closed with no pain or redness. I'm looking for a minimally invasive option like EPSiT (endoscopic pilonidal sinus treatment). Are there any hospitals or day care clinics in Chennai that do this procedure? I'll be there from August 20th to 30th and want to get it done during that time. My case doesn't seem complicated, but even if it is, I still prefer EPSiT. I really don't want to be hospitalized or bedridden for months again can you recommend a doctor or clinic for this?
To prevent recurrence of pilonidal sinus after surgery, focus on hygiene, hair removal, and lifestyle modifications. Maintain good hygiene, including regular showering and drying the area, to prevent bacterial accumulation. Regular hair removal, ideally weekly, is crucial to avoid ingrown hairs that can trigger infection. Additionally, consider laser hair removal for more permanent hair reduction. Avoid prolonged sitting, as it can put pressure on the area, and maintain a healthy weight
