Patient's question:
Recently, while giving my child a bath, I noticed a red spot on their body. So I took them to the doctor for a check-up. The doctor said it was an inguinal hernia and that surgery was needed. How long does the surgery process take?Doctor's answer:
Pediatric hernia surgery usually takes two to three hours to complete, so there's no need to worry. It is recommended to be hospitalized in advance and schedule the surgery. Check if the child's mental state is normal. Postoperative anti-infection treatment is also required. There will be wound pain in the short term, so you need to stay in the hospital for a few days. Avoid excessive activity. Rest more to recover better. It is recommended to use minimally invasive surgery to treat hernia in the hospital. The surgery only takes about 20 minutes. The treatment of pediatric hernia must be performed in a professional hospital. Compared to traditional surgery, minimally invasive surgery has the advantages of less trauma and shorter operation time. Pay attention to allowing the child to rest more after surgery and appropriately increase nutrition.
