I have an 11 mm supra umbilical hernia and need to decide between laparoscopic surgery with 2 ports and a 10-15 mm incision or open surgery. Both seem to have similar pain levels post-op. From a medical standpoint, which option would be better for me?

For an 11 mm supraumbilical hernia, laparoscopic surgery with two ports and a 10-15 mm incision is generally considered the better option from a medical standpoint. While both approaches can result in similar post-operative pain levels, laparoscopic repair typically leads to a faster recovery, a lower risk of complications, and potentially better cosmetic outcomes

View allMy son was born with extra fingers on both hands and one leg. He's now 18 months old and I recently saw a pediatric surgeon about it. Wanted to ask what's the best age to remove the extra fingers? The doctor recommended full-body anesthesia is that necessary or can they just numb the area? Also, roughly how much does this surgery cost and how long is the recovery? Any recommendations for a good doctor in MP?

my hiv1 rna viral load result says target not detected does this mean im undetectable and is it safe to proceed with piles surgery now
An undetectable viral load test result means the amount of HIV was so low that the test was unable to detect any HIV or could only find a tiny trace. This result might also be written as 'not detected' or 'target not detected'. There is zero risk of HIV transmission during sex
