Which is better, laparoscopic hernia repair or open surgery?

Patient's question:

A few weeks ago, my husband was diagnosed with a hernia. The doctor gave us two options: one is minimally invasive, and the other is surgery. Because we don't understand much about these two aspects. Hello doctor. Is the minimally invasive treatment for hernia better or is surgery better? Which one causes less harm to the body.

Doctor's answer:

After adults experience a recurrence of hernia, it is generally recommended to undergo surgical treatment. Minimally invasive treatment is also a type of surgical treatment, but compared to conventional surgery, it causes less physical damage and requires a shorter recovery time. However, the cost of minimally invasive treatment is generally higher than that of conventional surgery.
