Ivan,
Hernia procedures are very common. However, I don't understand how a
laproscopic inguinal hernia repair can be done. The essence of a hernia
procedure is to stretch fascia from its weakened, loose position to some
firmly attached and tougher area of fascia in the expectation that it will
scar into place, thereby closing the hole.
Incidentally, your kind is the most dangerous -- the possibility that a piece
of bowel could strangulate through that relatively small hole is what's
dangerous.
