What to Expect During a Low Impact Laparoscopy Hernia Repair Procedure
During a typical Low Impact procedure, your physician will make a standard incision in or near your belly button and two ultra-small incisions to repair your hernia. The procedure usually takes approximately 30-60 minutes. With Low Impact Laparoscopy, your physician may recommend your procedure be scheduled on an outpatient basis.
