Patient's question:
My child is two and a half years old this year. It has been recurring hernia since about seven months. The doctor said it can still heal on its own before the age of one, so no treatment was given. Now it hasn't fully recovered either. The doctor recommended surgery. How long does a pediatric hernia surgery take?Doctor's answer:
The surgery for pediatric inguinal hernia typically takes about an hour. Currently, the surgical procedure is quite mature, but since each child's condition is different, the time spent during surgery may vary. It is recommended that you ensure all necessary physical examinations are completed before the child undergoes surgery to prevent any unexpected incidents during the procedure, which could not only affect the surgery time but also cause unnecessary harm to the child's body. Rest well and ensure the room is always well-ventilated.
