Patient's question:
My baby was born three months ago, and the elders only discovered he had a hernia. At that time, because he was too young to undergo surgery, the doctor recommended waiting until he was older to have the surgery. My family and I are preparing to take him to see a doctor now. Hello, doctor, how much does the cost of pediatric minimally invasive hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is primarily caused by scars on the abdominal wall or weak areas during growth and development, leading to symptoms such as the intestines protruding through these weak spots. Since it involves infants and young children, there is a possibility of spontaneous healing as the child grows. At this stage, immediate surgery is not suitable, and careful observation is recommended. If the child has not healed by the age of 28, minimally invasive surgery can be considered. The cost varies by region and hospital, so it's best to consult with the hospital where you were initially treated.
