Many people with an umbilical hernia notice a bulge or change in the shape of the belly button. This happens because a weakness develops in the abdominal wall near the umbilicus (navel), allowing fat or intestine to push outward.
In this image:
⬅️ Before Surgery:
The belly button appears stretched and protruded due to the hernia.
➡️ After Surgery (e-TEP Laparoscopic Repair):
The hernia is repaired from inside using minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, helping restore the natural shape of the umbilicus with very small cuts.
What is e-TEP Umbilical Hernia Repair?
e-TEP (Enhanced-View Totally Extraperitoneal Repair) is an advanced laparoscopic technique in which:
Surgery is done through tiny keyhole incisions
The mesh is placed in a strong layer of the abdominal wall
The abdominal cavity is usually not entered
The hernia defect is closed and reinforced internally
Benefits for Patients
✔ Smaller cuts and less pain
✔ Better cosmetic appearance
✔ Faster recovery and early return to work
✔ Lower risk of wound infection
✔ Stronger abdominal wall repair
✔ Minimal visible scars

Common Symptoms of Umbilical Hernia.
Swelling or bulge near the belly button.
Pain while coughing or lifting weight.
Discomfort during daily activities.
Increase in size over time.

Early treatment can prevent complications like obstruction or strangulation of the intestine.

14 years after open cholecystectomy… a small remnant, a big problem.

Laparoscopic completion cholecystectomy for a remnant gallbladder stump with stones—a rare but important cause of recurrent biliary symptoms.

Redo surgery, dense adhesions, altered anatomy—yet a minimally invasive approach remains feasible with careful planning and technique.

Reminder: Persistent symptoms post-cholecystectomy? Don’t forget the stump.

Grateful for an amazing experience at JAKASICON 2026 held at AIIMS Jammu 🙏

Had the opportunity to present my laparoscopic video on "e -TEP for concomitant ventral and bilateral inguinal hernia" a truly enriching academic moment.

What made it even more special was meeting my teachers, mentors, and dear friends after so long.

💉 Recurrent Suprapubic Hernia? Here’s How Modern Surgery Fixes It!

Recurrent hernias near the suprapubic region can be tricky because the area is already operated on and anatomically complex.

✨ The solution? Laparoscopic TAPP Repair (Transabdominal Preperitoneal approach)

👉 This minimally invasive technique allows surgeons to:
✔️ See the defect clearly from inside the abdomen
✔️ Place a large mesh with strong overlap
✔️ Reduce chances of recurrence
✔️ Ensure faster recovery with less pain

In this technique, a small peritoneal flap is created, and mesh is placed in a safe preperitoneal space—keeping it away from abdominal organs.

📊 Studies show that laparoscopic repair offers better outcomes in recurrent hernias compared to traditional open surgery.

💡 Proper mesh fixation and adequate coverage are key to long-term success, especially in suprapubic hernias.

🚀 Minimally invasive surgery is transforming patient care—making complex hernia repairs safer and more effective than ever.

"Laparoscopic Mesenteric Patch Repair For Perforated Appendicular Base "

Not every perforated appendicular base needs conversion to open surgery.
This case of perforated appendicular base was managed laparoscopically using a mesenteric patch repair, reinforcing the base and avoiding a more extensive bowel procedure.

A useful technique to remember when the appendicular base is unhealthy but the cecum is salvageable.
✔️ Laparoscopic management
✔️ Mesenteric patch reinforcement
✔️ Bowel preservation
✔️ Uneventful recovery
Minimal access surgery continues to expand the boundaries of what we can safely manage laparoscopically.

"Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in Acute Cholecystitis"

Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard treatment for Acute Cholecystitis, ideally performed within 72 hours of symptom onset.

Inflammation, edema, and adhesions around the gallbladder make the procedure technically demanding. The key principle is achieving the Critical View of Safety before clipping the cystic duct and artery to prevent bile duct injury.

This surgery should be performed by a trained laparoscopic general surgeon, preferably with good experience in difficult gallbladder cases. When anatomy is unclear or inflammation is severe, conversion to open surgery is a safe and wise decision.

Minimally invasive approach offers less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery, even in acute cases when performed with proper expertise.

"Management Of Large Direct Pseudosacs In Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Surgery"

Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia repair is a safe and effective alternative to open inguinal hernia surgery with benefits like less pain and faster recovery, especially for bilateral hernias or in patients with a history of previous hernias, but its success is highly dependent on the surgeon's expertise and can be less reliable in less experienced hands.
In case of large direct hernias, Pseudosacs should always be managed either by plication or fixation to coopers ligament so as to obliterate the space that in turn prevents mesh migration in large Pseudosacs, reduces or prevent seroma formation, alleviates patient anxiety by minimizing the inguinal bulge in post operative period.

Sharing a short video of how we manage direct Pseudosacs.
