    Diagnostic laparoscopy as the definitive means of hernia detection?

    quote :

    These are great replies and very informative, thank you Dr. Goldstein and Dr. Szotek.

    A follow up question — What happens if a peritoneum laparoscopy is performed and no hernia is found? Does that ever happen? Are other problems ever seen in that approach which warrant fixing?

    I would like to know the answer to this as well. Is there always “something” that could be fixed, even if it looks semi-normal? i.e., just put some mesh in there and see if the pain is eventually reduced? Would you go that far in and then not end up doing anything, or would you always do something once you got to that point? Also, if you end up getting mesh put in, but the pain ends up getting worse eventually, is it fairly easy to remove? Thanks
