Precautions for minimally invasive inguinal hernia surgery generally include preoperative examination, fasting and postoperative care.
1. Preoperative examination: Before undergoing minimally invasive inguinal hernia surgery, patients should complete relevant examinations, such as routine blood tests, electrocardiograms, cardiopulmonary function, coagulation function, liver and kidney function and other aspects of the examination, which will help the smooth progress of the operation and prevent intraoperative bleeding and other situations.
2. Fasting: The patient should be fasted with food and water for 8 hours before the operation, which can reduce the pressure in the stomach and intestines and prevent nausea and vomiting during the operation. Diet can be resumed about 6 hours after surgery. After surgery, you need to eat more food rich in dietary fiber, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, to prevent constipation.
3. Postoperative care: change the medicine regularly after the operation, avoid strenuous exercise, keep the wound clean and dry, eat a light diet, do not eat spicy, stimulating food, and moderate activity, which can help promote wound healing.
After the minimally invasive inguinal hernia surgery, patients should follow the doctor’s instructions to do a good job of care, so as to avoid discomfort.
