Patient's question:
Male, 14 monthsDisease/Symptom: Pediatric hernia
Condition Description:
Is it possible to have the hernia surgery done on the same day? Can a 17-month-old child undergo the surgery?
Doctor's answer:
The gas you love your parents in friends hello, very happy to answer for you. If the child suffers from hernia, it is usually caused by the development of the abdominal wall, and can only be treated surgically. A 17-month-old child can undergo surgery, but the surgery is usually not performed on the same day. The surgery also requires asking about preoperative preparations: How long does the preparation take? This depends on your child's condition and the hospital's schedule.
