Small umbilical hernias can be treated using minimally invasive techniques that focus on accurate identification of the fascial defect, effective tissue approximation, and reinforcement of the abdominal wall. This surgical video demonstrates a laparoscopic approach to small umbilical hernia repair using Mishra’s Knot and dual mesh, providing an educational look at important steps of the procedure.

During laparoscopic surgery, the abdominal wall and hernia defect are visualized under magnification. The defect is carefully examined, and the operative field is prepared for repair. Precise laparoscopic visualization can assist with accurate placement of sutures and mesh while allowing the surgeon to work through minimally invasive access ports.

The use of Mishra’s Knot demonstrates an intracorporeal suturing and knot-tying technique that can be useful during laparoscopic procedures. Secure knot formation requires controlled manipulation of the suture, appropriate tension, and accurate placement. In umbilical hernia repair, suturing may be used to approximate the fascial edges when appropriate before reinforcement.

Following preparation of the defect, a dual mesh is introduced and positioned over the repaired area with adequate overlap. Proper mesh deployment is an important part of the procedure because the prosthesis should cover the defect appropriately and remain securely positioned. Laparoscopic fixation is performed according to the selected operative technique.

The video focuses on the practical surgical aspects of laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair, including defect assessment, intracorporeal knot tying, Mishra’s Knot technique, dual-mesh placement, and fixation. These steps demonstrate how laparoscopic suturing skills and mesh-handling techniques can be integrated into minimally invasive abdominal wall surgery.
