Patients without special complications after minimally invasive inguinal hernia surgery can eat after 6 hours, and pediatric patients can be appropriately prolonged to eat after 12~24 hours. Eating is mainly based on light and easy to digest food. 1. Patients with no special complications can eat after 6 hours: if there is no special postoperative complication such as urinary retention, patients can eat fluids after anal defecation, which is about 6 hours to one day, depending on the patient’s specific recovery situation. 2. Child patients can be extended to 12~24 hours: because the abdominal wall of younger patients is thinner, after repairing the suture, it is easy to recur inguinal hernia after surgery, so usually children patients with a long time of postoperative observation, appropriate to extend the feeding time to 12~24 hours. If persistent non-exhaustion can be appropriate to drink some water, into the fluid food, in order not to appear abdominal distension as the standard. Note: The patient’s feeding time should be based on the doctor’s instructions, and should not eat without authorization to avoid postoperative complications.
