Laparoscopic Hernia Repair in Malaysia

Safe, Effective & Minimally Invasive

Hernias are a common yet painful condition caused by organs pushing through weak spots in the abdominal wall. At Bariatric Surgery Malaysia, we offer laparoscopic hernia repair — a modern, minimally invasive procedure with quicker healing, less pain, and smaller scars compared to open surgery.

What Is Laparoscopic Hernia Repair?

Laparoscopic hernia repair is a keyhole surgery where the hernia is repaired using small incisions and a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera and light). Surgical mesh is often placed to reinforce the abdominal wall and prevent recurrence.

Commonly Treated Hernia Types:

  • Inguinal Hernia (groin area)

  • Umbilical Hernia (belly button)

  • Hiatal Hernia (upper stomach)

  • Incisional Hernia (from previous surgery)

  • Femoral Hernia

  • Sports Hernia
