MINISCARLESS (MSL) INGUINAL (GROIN) HERNIA SURGERY

This has by far the best cosmetic results, quickest and relatively pain free recovery.
The accumulative length of the incisions for this operation is 1.1cm (11mm or 0.4 Inch) *.
In Amir’s MSL TEP repair the surgery inside is the same as the standard Totally Extra Peritoneal (TEP) repair, which is minimal invasive and generally considered as a Gold standard globally; accumulative incision length of 4 cm (40mm or 1.6 inches) *.
Amir’s MSL TEP repair is the only surgical approach for hernia repair which generally does not require any post-operative restriction on mobility, exercise or lifting weight.
