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 a hernia and that surgery is needed. Could you please tell me how long the surgery process takes?Doctor's answer:
The surgery for pediatric inguinal hernia typically 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. Post-surgery, antiviral treatment is required. There will be wound pain in the short term, so hospitalization for several days is necessary. Avoid excessive movement and get plenty of rest for better recovery. It is recommended to use minimally invasive surgery to treat inguinal hernia in the hospital. The surgery only takes about 20 minutes. The treatment for pediatric inguinal 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.
