Can you share more details about the surgery I need, like what exactly it involves and how long recovery usually takes? Also wondering which hospital would be best for this procedure and why you'd recommend them - do they have special expertise or better success rates? Could you also give me an idea about the costs and if there are any package deals or membership options that might help with expenses

View allI have an 11mm supra umbilical hernia and my doctor recommended laparoscopic surgery but I'm confused because it still involves a 15mm incision for the port. Wouldn't open surgery be a better option since the incision size is almost the same? Is my thinking correct medically?
While a 15mm incision for the laparoscopic port might seem comparable to an open surgery, laparoscopic surgery still offers advantages like reduced pain, faster recovery, and potentially lower complication rates. The laparoscopic approach uses multiple small incisions, not just one larger one, and the surgical view provided by the laparoscope can offer precision and potentially less manipulation of surrounding tissues.

I've been diagnosed with gallbladder stones a month ago - they're 10mm, 11mm, and 13mm in size. For the past 3 months I've had constant fever and chills, extreme weakness that makes it hard to even go outside, bad bloating and indigestion, plus my eyes and face look yellowish. Is gallbladder surgery my best option at this point?

my wound from fistula surgery hasn't healed even after 60 days and there's still a bit of pus coming out my doctor says it's normal and will take time but I'm worried should I be on antibiotics to stop the pus
While your doctor's statement about delayed healing and pus discharge after fistula surgery being normal may be true in some cases, it's important to address your concerns. Pus drainage can be a sign of infection, and a delayed healing time could also indicate an underlying issue. It's recommended to discuss your concerns and the possibility of antibiotics with your doctor. They can assess the situation, determine if antibiotics are necessary, and guide you on the best course of action for your specific case
