Patient's question:
My husband recently developed a hernia, and the doctor recommended treating it through surgery. I want to understand how much it costs to have a hernia surgery? Hello, is there no other treatment besides surgery? If it's surgery, what precautions and preparations are needed?Doctor's answer:
Pediatric inguinal hernia is one of the most common diseases in pediatric surgery and hernia surgery, mainly including congenital inguinal hernia and umbilical hernia. Inguinal hernias in children over one year old cannot heal on their own. If a child with an umbilical hernia is over 4 years old or the umbilical ring diameter is 2~3 centimeters or more, surgical treatment should be considered. Currently, more minimally invasive treatments have been adopted, and the fees should be charged according to the pricing level of the local hospital.
