A. small tape strips will cover and close the incision site this will fall off on their own in 1-2 weeks. most children can go home a few hours after surgery. but please give prescribed Medicines exactly as directed. if a child is having swelling near that part after surgery ,you can try cool pack. give plenty of fluids. give Sponge bath after two days of surgery. avoid physical activities for now.

A. hi mam ,it is one of the most common types of surgery done on kids surgery is needed so that an inguinal hernia doesn't get stuck and cause damage to the intestine. During surgery ,the child gets anesthesia to not feel pain. the surgeon makes small incision in the skin. in boys , they will move the herinia away from the spermatic cord , which carries the blood supply for the testicle and the pathway for sperm. Then, the surgeon puts the part of the intestines that are inside the herinia back where it belongs. the surgeon closes the opening to help prevent another herinia.
