The cost of surgery for male patients varies depending on the type of hernia surgery and the location where the hernia occurs. First, if the patient presents with a unilateral inguinal hernia and a traditional open surgery with patch implantation for tension-free hernia repair is selected. The cost of an open patch in this case is around 2,500 yuan, which is relatively low, and the overall cost of surgery is around 11,000 yuan. After open surgery, the patient needs 3-5 days of recovery time. Second, if the patient is suffering from bilateral inguinal hernia, at this time the patient opts for laparoscopic tension-free hernia repair. The cost of laparoscopic hernia patch is higher, with one patch costing about 4,000 yuan and two patches costing 8,000 yuan, and the total cost of the surgery is about 26,000 yuan. The patient’s surgery is less invasive and requires 2-3 days to recover after surgery.
