Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and found out that I have a hernia. I want to know how much the surgery cost if I were to have the hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, the cost of hernia surgery is related to the population, such as children and adults, because the surgical methods differ between the two groups. For children with hernias, the common procedure is high ligation of the hernial sac, with a relatively short hospital stay. Nowadays, this is also categorized as day surgery. Therefore, in most cases, adult hernias are divided into two surgical methods: open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. If laparoscopic surgery is performed, it helps to regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
