Patient's question:
Lying down and coming back, standing up and immediately coming down. A very small part came out. No pain symptoms. I would like to consult a few times, how many days can I be discharged after laparoscopic hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, minimally invasive inguinal hernia surgery causes less psychological trauma and leads to a faster recovery. Most patients do not need to be hospitalized for treatment and can be discharged after the surgery. However, since the child is young, cooperation with the doctor during hospitalization may be necessary to use a variety of antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment and to prevent infection. The majority of patients should be able to be discharged approximately three days later.After discharge, rest at home is necessary, and physical activity should be minimized. Avoid activities that increase abdominal pressure for at least three months. If the hernia does not fully recover and local pain persists, consider the possibility of local adhesion or incarceration of the hernia, and seek surgical intervention promptly.
For the treatment of inguinal hernia, the preferred surgical treatments are herniorrhaphy (tying off the hernia sac) and tension-free repair using a biological mesh patch. After surgery, it is recommended to stay in bed, and the stitches can be removed and discharge can occur approximately one week later. It is advisable to schedule the surgery at a hospital.
