How Can A Hernia Be Treated?
I recently saw a doctor about my groin hernia. He said I should have surgery by incision because it will take less of a chance for nerve or blood vessel damage than laparoscopy surgery. I am afraid the incision surgery will be very painful than the other type. But because he said it was a large hernia it may be my only choice. What should I do? Ron

Hello welcome to the health care magic
For hernia two type of surgery can be possible
1.open by incision
And 2. Laproscopy
Laproscopy surgery is better option...
But you are right if hernia much large than incisional operation needed
It's after examination we can decide what approach is feasible
But before undergoing incisional hernia repair, Consult another surgeon also for taking advise after examination
Take care
Hope this will help you
