Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my son is 8 years old. He hasn't been eating much recently and has had bloating for half a month. His bowel movements are also very few. The doctor said it's a hernia and needs surgery. How much does the surgery usually cost?Doctor's answer:
Children with inguinal hernia who are under 1 year old and have not been cured or who experience recurrence after 1 year old all require surgical intervention. The charging standards for hospitals of different regions and levels also have certain differences, but generally speaking, the cost of inguinal hernia surgery is not high, ranging from hundreds to. The charges are not related to the surgery but are related to the length of hospital stay. The specific charging standards can be consulted in detail with local medical institutions. Generally, the surgery can be completed in about 20 minutes, with a hospital stay of 2-3 days. The wound does not require suture or debridement, and the surgical trauma is small. If the inguinal hernia recurs, it should be treated surgically in a timely manner to avoid strangulation or incarceration. If the inguinal canal is damaged, it will increase the surgical trauma and shorten the postoperative recovery time.
