Patient's question:
The son of my colleague is three years old this year. At a young age, he suffers from a severe hernia. The doctor recommended minimally invasive surgery for treatment. I would like to ask here how long does the minimally invasive surgery for pediatric hernia take to recover?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for children, minimally invasive surgery for inguinal hernia has less risk, smaller trauma, and is also easier to recover from. After the minimally invasive surgery, children can be discharged and walk around within 4 to 5 days. Full recovery takes about two to three months. During this time, family members need to take good care of the child, avoid crying and fussing, prevent them from catching a cold, and maintain a light diet.
