Patient's question:
A few days ago, I was carefully examined and found that I have a hernia. The doctor said that surgery is required to treat it. Is a hernia surgery considered a minor procedure?Doctor's answer:
Hernia surgery is not a major operation; this type of surgery is relatively simple. The surgery mainly includes hernia repair: by detaching part of the external oblique muscle to repair the hernia ring, and hernia mesh repair: using a mesh material to replace the detached part of the external oblique muscle to repair the hernia ring. Laparoscopic hernia repair: it is to successfully complete hernia repair or hernia mesh repair through laparoscopy. Adjust physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
