Do I need surgery for every hernia?
No. Your surgeon will examine you and tell you whether surgery is needed now, later, or not at all. Small hernias that do not trouble you are sometimes only watched.
Will I have a big cut on my stomach?
Not always. Many of these operations can be done through two or three small cuts instead of one long cut. Your surgeon will tell you which method suits your case.
How long do I have to stay in hospital?
It depends on the operation and on your health. Your surgeon will tell you before the day of surgery, so you can plan your leave from work.
Can I eat before coming for the check-up?
For the first check-up, yes. If a scan or blood test is needed, the front desk will tell you if you have to come with an empty stomach.
Not sure which doctor you need?
Call the front desk. Tell them your problem in your own words and they will tell you which doctor to see, and when to come.
