How many days of hospitalization are required for hernia surgery in adult men

The general hospitalization time for hernia surgery for adult men is about 5 days, but there are individual differences in patients’ physical fitness and post-operative recovery. In general, on the 1st day of admission, more preoperative related examinations, such as blood routine, liver and kidney function, coagulation function, electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, etc., are required to determine the patient’s physical fitness and ensure the safety of the surgery. If the patient’s examination report does not show any obvious contraindications to hernia surgery, surgery can be scheduled on the 2nd day after admission, and laparoscopic hernia repair can be performed on the 3rd day of admission, or open inguinal hernia tension-free repair can be performed. Usually the first 1-2 days after surgery can be based on the patient’s recovery, if the patient has no abdominal pain, fever, normal urination and defecation, can be discharged. If the patient recovers poorly physically, recovers slowly, or develops relevant postoperative complications, the hospitalization period can be relatively prolonged. In addition, it is recommended that patients should pay attention to rest, avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical activities, control their weight and have a healthy diet within 3 months after discharge.
