Patient's question:
I want to ask the doctor about the minimally invasive surgery for inguinal hernia in children's hospital. My child has been diagnosed with inguinal hernia and needs to undergo minimally invasive surgery. However, I would like to inquire a few things: is this minimally invasive surgery dangerous, and how long does it take to complete?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is a very common disease, and people of all ages, regardless of gender, can get it. If a child under one year old gets sick, it may be relieved through conservative treatment with pressure. If the age is older, surgery is needed through minimally invasive methods, which is relatively safe. This involves placing a patch through laparoscopy to achieve some restorative effects. The time for recovery varies from person to person. This surgery takes about two hours, give or take.
