my doctor just diagnosed me with an inguinal hernia and recommended surgery but I'm confused about which option is better - laparoscopic or open surgery also which one has a lower chance of the hernia coming back later
Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair generally offers benefits like faster recovery and less pain compared to open surgery, but there's no significant difference in recurrence rates between the two. Ultimately, the best approach depends on individual factors and surgeon experience

I had fissure surgery 5 years ago and now there's a perianal abscess near my anus. The scan shows a small thick-walled abscess about 15x12mm at the 6 o'clock position, 13mm deep to the anal verge. No mass or deep issues in the rectum were found. Should I be worried about this abscess coming back after treatment? What are my options to prevent it from recurring?
Yes, there's a possibility that your perianal abscess could recur, especially if an anal fistula is present. Treatment usually involves incision and drainage, and sometimes surgery to address a fistula if present. Preventing recurrence involves good hygiene, preventing constipation, and potentially surgical intervention for fistula management
