Your Guide to Laparoscopic Hernia and Gallbladder Operations
Every year, an estimated 611,000 ventral and 1 million inguinal hernia repairs are performed in the United States, according to the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project data and the US Food and Drug Administration. Along with cholecystectomies (gallbladder removals), hernia repairs are one of the most commonly performed general surgery operations, and thanks to recent technological developments in the specialty, many of these operations can be performed laparoscopically. This tends to result in faster recovery times and safer procedures.
