Minimally invasive inguinal hernia surgery usually requires a hospital stay of about 7 days. Some hospitals may shorten the hospital stay for patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery depending on their condition. Minimally invasive inguinal hernia surgery includes three types of surgical procedures, including laparoscopic high ligation of the hernia sac, trans-laparoscopic preperitoneal patch repair and complete extraperitoneal patch repair, all of which are characterized by short operation time, minimal trauma and quick recovery, and usually require hospitalization for 3-7 days. After minimally invasive inguinal hernia surgery, patients can eat and drink after 6 hours and can get out of bed the next day, but they need to pay attention to keep urination and defecation open and the wound healing time is 7 days. For patients who have an incarcerated hernia or other underlying diseases, the hospital stay may be extended accordingly. In addition, patients should strictly avoid activities that cause increased intra-abdominal pressure and heavy physical labor, such as coughing, heavy lifting, and strenuous abdominal exercises, for 1 month after surgery. Pay attention to a reasonable diet and consume more fresh fruits and vegetables to avoid constipation that may affect the recovery.
