In response to many parents’ questions about whether laparoscopic surgery will affect the fertility of their children, today we will provide a detailed answer. First of all, a successful laparoscopic hernia surgery will not affect fertility. When ligating the hernia sac, the doctor will find the vas deferens and avoid it, so that the hernia surgery will not damage the vas deferens and generally will not affect fertility (provided that the child does not have other diseases that affect fertility, such as cryptorchidism, etc.).
