Patient's question:
Right inguinal hernia, reducible, extending into the scrotum, painless, significantly enlargedDoctor's answer:
The choice of surgical method has always been a dilemma for many parents. Currently, there is no definitive conclusion in academia. To put it in simpler terms, there is still some debate about whether laparoscopic surgery is necessary for inguinal hernia repair. Traditional surgery itself is relatively simple, with minimal surgical trauma and wounds of about 1-2 cm. One advantage of minimally invasive surgery is that the incisions are small, resulting in less noticeable scars in the future, which are more aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, if parents have high requirements for the aesthetic appearance after surgery, they can choose minimally invasive surgery.
