Patient's question:
I have had a hernia for two years. At first, it wasn't too serious, and I could still walk and even push it back and hold it in place for a while. Recently, every time I walk, there's a bulge in my abdomen, and it hurts, so I need surgery. Hello, is the hernia surgery currently minimally invasive? How many days will it take to be discharged?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to what you said, hernia includes inguinal hernia, femoral hernia, incisional hernia, and umbilical hernia. Hernia cannot be treated with minimally invasive surgery. The surgery for inguinal hernia is mainly repair, which means ligating the hernia sac at a high position and strengthening or repairing the wall of the inguinal canal. The surgical method for femoral hernia is to isolate the femoral canal to cut off the passage for abdominal organs to fall into the femoral canal. Incisional hernia involves removing the scar of the original surgical incision. Generally, patients can be discharged one week after surgery.
