I had fistula laser surgery 5 weeks ago but there's still pus coming from the wound which looks like a tiny pin point. Is this normal healing or could there be a serious issue? How long should I wait for it to heal completely?

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.

My father-in-law is 55 and a farmer, pretty fit overall. He's had swelling and pain below the scrotum for about a year, and now the pain is getting worse. A doctor said it might be a hernia. At what point does he need surgery? Are there any meds that can help avoid surgery? Is it better to get surgery done early?
yes ,surgery is advised.
