How long does it take for a bilateral hernia surgery?

Patient's question:

My grandfather was thoroughly examined in the hospital two days ago and diagnosed with bilateral hernia. At that time, the doctor said that surgery was required. Today is the day we need to prepare for the surgery. I would like to know how long does a bilateral hernia surgery usually take?

Doctor's answer:

Bilateral hernia surgery generally takes about half an hour to an hour to complete the entire procedure successfully. Sometimes it may even take less time, which mainly depends on the advancement of modern repair techniques. However, the exact surgery time cannot be fully confirmed. The duration of the surgery is usually determined by factors such as the severity of the patient's condition, the surgical approach chosen, and the doctor's skill.
