Has anyone had open mesh hernia repair surgery and keyhole hernia repair surgery?

I am trying to understand the difference in pain and discomfort between the two operations? One is supposed to be far less invasive.

Hello there,

I had keyhole surgery for my hernia to be pushed back with gaze. Just letting you know that everything went well and haven’t had a problem since with it. Now got another hernia in a different place, hoping to have it removed because it’s right in the front of my stomach.. hope this answers a bit of your question anyway good luck Rachel xx

Hi Rachel, thanks very much for this information. Could I ask if you experienced pain with your keyhole surgery?
