Laparoscopic repair of a left-sided complete indirect inguinal hernia involves a minimally invasive surgical approach. The procedure begins with small incisions through which a laparoscope and surgical instruments are inserted. The hernia is identified and the herniated tissue is pushed back into the abdominal cavity. A mesh is placed over the defect to reinforce the abdominal wall and prevent recurrence. This technique offers advantages such as reduced postoperative pain, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring. "Skin-to-skin" refers to the entire surgical process, from initial incision to final closure, emphasizing the minimally invasive nature and precision of the procedure.
