Bilateral Repair: Fixing Both Sides in One Surgery
One of the primary advantages of the laparoscopic approach is the ability to repair bilateral hernias (both left and right) through the same small incisions. In this video, Dr. Todd Harris walks you through a complex case involving a Direct Hernia on the right side—where the weakness is in the floor of the inguinal canal—and an Indirect Hernia on the left. You will see how we navigate critical structures like the iliac vessels (often called the ‘Triangle of Doom’) and overlap the mesh in the midline to ensure complete reinforcement of the abdominal wall.
