What are helpful recommendations for ensuring a safe and speedy recovery after the ingiunal hernia open surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pre habilitation : Stay fit and exercise before the operation to make recovery smoother. Also, a laparoscopic hernia repair done by an experienced surgeon has a shorter recovery compared to an open repair, but only about 20% of inguinal hernias are repaired this way due to lack of training and experience. Whatever you do, best of luck!
