The duration of a laparoscopic hernia surgery can vary depending on the complexity of the hernia and other factors, but it typically takes around 30 minutes to 1 hour. After the surgery, you may need to stay in the hospital for observation for a few hours to a day. However, some patients may be discharged on the same day if there are no complications. As for the cost, it can vary widely depending on the hospital, location, and other factors. In India, the cost of laparoscopic hernia surgery can range from around ₹50,000 to ₹1,50,000 or more, including hospital stay, surgeon's fees, anesthesia, and other associated costs. It's best to consult with a healthcare provider or hospital to get an accurate estimate based on your specific circumstances. |

The recovery process after laparoscopic hernia surgery can vary from person to person, but generally, it takes about 1 to 2 weeks to return to normal activities for a simple hernia repair. Here's what you can generally expect during the recovery period: Pain and discomfort: You may experience some pain and discomfort in the abdomen and groin area. This is normal and can be managed with pain medications prescribed by your doctor. Activity restrictions: Your doctor may advise you to avoid lifting heavy objects or engaging in strenuous activities for a few weeks to prevent straining the surgical area. Diet: You may be advised to follow a soft diet initially and gradually transition to your regular diet as tolerated. Wound care: Your incision sites may be covered with bandages or dressings. It's important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection. Follow-up appointments: You will likely have a follow-up appointment with your doctor to monitor your recovery and ensure everything is healing properly. Return to work: Depending on your job, you may be able to return to work within a few days to a week after surgery. Your doctor will advise you on when it's safe to resume work. Resuming normal activities: You can gradually start resuming normal activities, but it's important to listen to your body and not overexert yourself. |
