My son is 7 years old and when he was small, he found that his right scrotum was big when he cried and small when he was lying down, but now it is getting stronger and bigger when he usually stands upright. However, due to the limitation of medical level, our local hospitals are using conventional large incision surgery, which is very painful for children. 1. Is the minimally invasive surgery for pediatric hernia in your center the “small transverse abdominal incision” minimally invasive surgery described on the Internet, and how many centimeters is the incision? How long does the surgery take? How many days of hospitalization is required for the surgery? How much time after the surgery can I get off the floor? Jia Gaolei: You are very welcome! 1.
