Patient's question:
My little baby has a hernia. When they cry, it's very intense. The doctor said it would be very dangerous if surgery wasn't performed, so they had the surgery. I don't know how many days after the surgery the stitches can be removed.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the information you provided, it is advisable to avoid crying, severe coughing, and dry stools after pediatric hernia surgery, as these can increase abdominal pressure. Without special conditions such as infection, general abdominal surgery typically requires about a week. However, since this surgery does not require suture removal, I am unsure what type of suture is used. It is recommended to enhance postoperative care to prevent wound infection. Suture removal usually takes about 10 days. It is suggested to check with the hospital where the surgery was performed.
