how much does a simple surgery usually cost and will it be painful are there any side effects that could cause problems later on
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The cost of a simple surgery can vary greatly depending on the type of surgery, the hospital or clinic, and your insurance coverage. Minimally invasive surgeries generally have lower costs and are less painful than traditional open surgeries. Post-operative discomforts and potential side effects can include pain, nausea, vomiting, and in some cases, longer-term complications like infection or nerve damage

My pilonidal sinus burst and drained a lot of white pus and blood. Should I still get surgery or can I just take pimple healing meds and antibiotics?
While antibiotics might help with the infection after a pilonidal sinus burst, surgery is likely still needed, especially if the sinus is chronic or keeps recurring. Antibiotics alone won't fully address the underlying issue of the sinus and the need for complete removal. See a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment options, including potential surgery or incision and drainage, to prevent recurrence and further complications

My 2-month-old baby has been diagnosed with a right inguinal hernia measuring 17x9.3 mm, with omental and bowel herniation going into the scrotal sac. The ultrasound shows maintained vascularity and minimal free fluid. Is open surgery under local anesthesia safe for such a young baby? I'm really worried about the risks at this age.
Open inguinal hernia repair, even under local anesthesia, is generally considered safe for a 2-month-old baby, especially when ultrasound findings indicate maintained vascularity and minimal fluid. However, the decision to proceed with surgery, including the type of anesthesia, should be made by a qualified pediatric surgeon in consultation with the parents, considering the baby's overall health, the severity of the hernia, and the surgeon's experience
