My mother had tumour in uterus 3 years back. Her uterus is removed but she got inguinal hernia after that. There are 2 hernia 1 is of big size other one is small. She is scared of surgeries as she had 5 surgeries before 2 for tumor 3 for child birth. It will be her 5th surgery. Doctors are saying as hernia is big laparoscopic surgery might not possible. She has to go for regular one. Is there any risk in 6th surgery? Is laparoscopic surgery possible?

Laparoscopic surgery is very much possible unless the hernial swelling is not incarcerated. You need to show her to right kind of Laparoscopic surgeon. Regarding her fitness for surgery, she needs to be evaluated both by a Surgeon and Anaesthetist. In good hospitals it will not be an issue.
