The first type of surgery for inguinal hernia is the traditional inguinal hernia surgery, which is a direct suture without a patch, which is cheaper and may cost 4,000 or 5,000 yuan, but this type of surgery is prone to recurrence after surgery. The second type, the most common nowadays, is the tension-free repair, which is a patch repair. The repair with patch is also divided into open and laparoscopic, and the approximate cost of open surgery may be about 8,000, 9,000-10,000 yuan, while laparoscopic may be 12,000, 13,000 yuan.
