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 the surgery wasn't done, so we had it. 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, or constipation after pediatric hernia surgery, as these can increase abdominal pressure. In the absence of special conditions such as infection, abdominal surgery generally 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 strengthen postoperative care to prevent wound infection. Suture removal typically takes about 10 days. It is suggested to have a check-up at the hospital where the surgery was performed.
