Patient's question:
I want to have a minimally invasive surgery for a hernia at the hospital, but my family members are not in the country. Can I go for the surgery alone? If not, what solutions are available? Why is it necessary to have a family member accompany me for the surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, please read your question. Signing the signatures of family members is part of the hospital's daily work, because some accidents may occur during the surgery. The examination and treatment methods require someone to authorize the doctor. The patient has already been anesthetized, and in this situation, authorization cannot be obtained. The most effective treatment for inguinal hernia is surgical repair. If there are chronic cough, difficulty urinating, severe constipation, ascites, and other intra-abdominal pressure or diabetes, treatment should be performed before surgery to prevent and reduce postoperative recurrence.
