Patient's question:
What is the procedure for tension-free hernia repair? Hello, how long is the recovery period after the surgery?Doctor's answer:
Common methods for tension-free hernia surgery include three: tension-free mesh repair, plug-and-mesh tension-free surgery, and large mesh augmentation for visceral sac. In hernia repair surgery, artificial high-molecular-weight repair materials are used for debridement and repair. Postoperative pain is relatively mild, recovery is rapid, and recurrence rates are low. Generally, full recovery can be achieved within about one week after surgery. Postoperative attention should be paid to preventing pneumonia and abdominal infection.
