Hello Doctor, My father age 77 years having inguinal hernia . I would like to know if at this age will doctor recommended to go for a surgery. If yes: 1)which surgery is recmmended- Open or Laproscopic 2) how many days my father need to be in hospital after the surgery 3) how many weeks of bed rest after discharge of hospital. Thanks, Subroto
Laparoscopic will be well tolerated (less pain and quicker recovery)Typically it is outpatient surgery - home the same daybed rest for 1-2 days then normal activity. Please rate 5 stars! I strive to provide the best answer I can to your questions!
