Abdominal & Groin Hernia
Abdominal and groin hernias (including inguinal and femoral types) commonly develop due to a weakness in the abdominal wall combined with sudden increases in pressure, such as during lifting or straining. Because hernias do not heal on their own, surgical repair is required to prevent complications such as incarceration or strangulation. A/Prof Taylor performs all hernia repairs using advanced laparoscopic (keyhole) techniques, providing patients with a rapid recovery, minimal discomfort, and a strong, long-lasting repair.

Laparoscopic Hernia Repair – TEP and TAPP
A hernia is a sac-like structure that protrudes from a weak area or opening in the wall of the abdominal cavity. It is seen as a bulge over the skin and often characterized with pain and discomfort. The most commonly used laparoscopic surgical techniques for hernia repair are transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair.
