Laparoscopic hernia surgery is a minimally invasive approach to repairing hernias, which occur when an organ or fatty tissue pushes through a weak muscle area. The procedure involves small incisions, the use of a laparoscope, and mesh for repair, offering benefits such as faster recovery and reduced pain. However, it carries risks like complications and requires specialized skills.
