Patient's question:
I would like 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 perform?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is a very common disease that can affect people of all ages, regardless of gender. If the child is under one year old, the condition can potentially be relieved through conservative treatment with pressure. If the age is older, surgical intervention is necessary. This is a relatively safe procedure, involving the placement of a mesh through laparoscopy to achieve some restorative effect. The duration of the condition varies from person to person, and this surgery typically takes about two hours.
