How long does surgical treatment for a hernia take?

Patient's question:

I recently developed a hernia, but since my company is in a period of growth, I'm quite busy every day and don't have time to get treatment. However, this condition still needs to be treated, so I wanted to ask you how long the surgical treatment for a hernia typically takes?

Doctor's answer:

Surgical treatment for hernia typically lasts for 7 to 9 days in total. We need one day for preparation before the surgery, and the surgery itself is usually completed smoothly on the same day. If there is no infection post-surgery, we can remove the stitches after 7 to 9 days. Therefore, the entire course of treatment is 7 to 9 days. If you need to take additional leave, it is best to request about ten days off. In your daily life, pay attention to personal habits and maintain a healthy diet.
