First of all: different operation time: traditional operation: about 10-20 minutes. Laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery: about 5-10 minutes.

Secondly, the incision is different: traditional surgery: the incision is located in the groin area, 2-3cm size, postoperative scar is obvious. Single port laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery: the incision is located in the umbilical fossa, 0.5cm in size, no scar after operation.

Finally: the postoperative complications are different: traditional surgery: poor exposure, need to dissect the inguinal canal and spermatic cord to find the hernia sac, after the separation of the hernia sac can be ligated, prone to side injury and postoperative scrotal seroma. Laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery: exposure, into the mirror can see the hernia ring mouth, direct under direct vision to do hernia ring ligation, do not do any tissue separation, is not easy to appear side injury, no scrotal seroma.
