Inguinal hernia, femoral hernia, is a common surgical condition and is an elective procedure. But still some patients come to surgery in an emergency, i.e., they had a hernia before, did not undergo treatment for many days, and an impaction occurred, i.e., a local mass was formed that stuck to the intestinal canal and became painful. Patients, therefore, are advised not to have the mentality that “patients often feel that there is no serious problem and do not consult the doctor in time, always choosing to come for surgery when they are not busy”. This is because early surgery, when no emergencies occur, comes to surgery for a faster postoperative recovery, better recovery and better results. Emergency surgery, often with many complications and slow recovery, even requires removal of the intestinal canal and even endangers life. Patients with inguinal hernia are thus advised to choose early, elective treatment for a quick postoperative recovery. A question of concern for many patients is: How long does it take to recover after hernia surgery? Generally speaking, hernia surgery is not a major operation. With previous traditional surgery (not tension-free surgery, not minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery), patients have a long recovery time, probably 1-2 months until they are pain-free for normal activities or work. There is also a recurrence rate of up to 20% after traditional surgery, especially in older people, those with weak abdominal walls, or those who are obese. As a result, the gold standard of treatment is now tension-free hernia repair, or minimally invasive laparoscopic hernia repair. Hernia repair is performed using polymer patches, which are available in a variety of materials, the most commonly used being polypropylene patches, but also biologic patches, which have been used for more than 60 years and have a very good safety profile. After the surgery, the patient’s recovery is rapid and if the surgery goes well, the patient can get out of bed the same day and be discharged the day after the surgery. If minimally invasive surgery is performed, the patient can move around the same day after surgery with very little pain. Generally, there is no problem to participate in normal activities or work one week after surgery.
