Patient's question:
My daughter has developed pediatric hernia. My husband and I both rushed back from afar because this hernia should not be taken lightly. It is said that if it is severe, it could be life-threatening. I would like to ask how long does it take for a child to have a hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
A two-year-old patient underwent an inguinal hernia surgery, which took about an hour. This surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia, and it is commonly conducted in general surgery departments of private secondary Class B and above comprehensive hospitals. After the surgery is completed and the anesthesia has completely worn off, it is considered appropriate to follow the doctor's advice to drink water and have dinner. It is recommended to consume more high-fiber foods in the diet to prevent constipation, frequent crying, and other issues.
