A 38-year-old man from the UK experienced swelling and persistent discomfort in his right groin for 6 months. The hernia was reducible and symptoms worsened with physical activity, affecting his comfort and lifestyle.

After consultation with the surgical team in Istanbul, the patient was scheduled for a laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) hernia repair. This minimally invasive approach uses small incisions and a camera to access the hernia site, allowing the surgeon to repair the weakened abdominal wall and place a supportive mesh. The operation was performed under general anesthesia and took approximately 90 minutes. The laparoscopic method offers less pain and faster healing compared to traditional open surgery.

Recovery was smooth and uneventful. The patient began walking the same day as his surgery and was able to leave the hospital after two days. Instructions on wound care and activity were clear and easy to follow. At the two-week follow-up, he showed excellent wound healing, had no pain or swelling, and there were no signs of hernia recurrence.

With expert minimally invasive surgery in Istanbul, the patient made a fast, complication-free recovery and quickly returned to his normal routine.
