How big is the wound after laparoscopic hernia surgery?

Patient's question:

My dear son is 9 years old this year. A couple of days ago, it was found that my dear son has a hiatal hernia and needs surgery. But I am worried that the surgical scar will be too large and not very attractive. I am slightly hesitant and would like to consult about the size of the wound for a hiatal hernia minimally invasive surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Congenital malrotation of the small intestine. A mass appears. It disappears in the supine position. Some may cause pain. Avoid colds, fatigue, and exhaustion. Minimize activity as much as possible. Apply heat. Eat more vegetables and fruits. Keep bowel movements smooth. There are two types of surgery: minimally invasive surgery and conventional surgery. The incision is usually about 5 cm. Minimally invasive. Consult at a public hospital. Check which surgery to choose. Drink more water. Get more rest. Eat less spicy, irritating, and greasy food.
