How much does straight inguinal hernia surgery cost

Surgery for a straight inguinal hernia usually costs anywhere from a few thousand to 20,000 dollars. Inguinal hernias are usually categorized as either straight or hiatal hernias. Hiatal hernias are commonly seen in children and young men, while rectal hernias are more common in middle-aged and older men. Open surgery and minimally invasive surgery are both currently used as clinical inguinal hernia treatments. Traditional surgery is a tension suture repair between tissues, which may cost 4,000 or 5,000 yuan, but this type of surgery is prone to recurrence after surgery. Tension-free hernia repair is now the most common surgical procedure, which is a repair using a patch. Patch repair surgery is also divided into open and laparoscopic, open the approximate cost may be about 8,000 yuan, laparoscopic may be about 20,000 yuan. Because of the difference in the material of the patch, the price will be different, and the cost may be reduced to a different extent if there is reimbursement by the medical insurance. The specific cost is recommended to consult the local hospital, it is recommended to go to the regular hospital treatment, so as not to delay the condition.
