Can I get my inguinal hernia mesh repair and gallbladder removal surgery done at the same time since I have 1011 small gallstones? Is combining these procedures safe and how long would the recovery take?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, it's generally safe to combine inguinal hernia mesh repair and gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) surgery at the same time, especially if the gallbladder removal is done laparoscopically. This approach can potentially reduce hospital costs and increase patient satisfaction. Recovery time would typically be 4-6 weeks, with a slower recovery for open hernia repair.

View allCan you review my USG reports and advise if I need gallbladder removal surgery? What symptoms should I watch for that would mean surgery is necessary since I've heard it's only done for symptomatic gallstones?

I've had mild pain on the right side of my abdomen for about a month now and my doctor recommended surgery for appendicitis. Can homeopathy actually cure this or is surgery the only option? I'm worried about going under the knife if there are other treatments that might work
Homeopathy is not a proven treatment for appendicitis. Persistent mild pain in the right abdomen should be taken seriously

I have a hernia in my upper right groin that seems to be either femoral or inguinal. I really don't want surgery but I've heard it's the only option. The bulge isn't always there it only shows up when there's pressure. Are there any other treatments or remedies that could help heal it? Could homeopathy work for this?
