Surgery for small intestinal hernia has very little impact on the gastrointestinal tract in the abdominal cavity, so you can eat a liquid or semi-liquid diet after the surgery, that is, thin rice, rice soup, noodles, etc., and even fish soup, bone soup, and rib soup. After 2-3 days after surgery, when the patient has a bowel movement, the patient can resume a normal diet, such as rice, steamed buns and other foods. If the patient undergoes emergency inguinal hernia surgery, that is, if the inguinal hernia is ingrown and comes to the hospital for surgery, the diet after surgery should be decided according to the condition of the contents of the hernia. If the contents of the hernia are not necrotic, a liquid or semi-liquid diet can be performed. If the contents of the hernia are necrotic, a necrotic intestinal canal resection and intestinal canal anastomosis should be performed, and a liquid or semi-liquid diet can only be performed when the intestinal canal has healed, that is, about 3 days after surgery.
