The best treatment for a hernia is to get surgery. Your doctor will tell you the surgery procedure after looking at the condition. Basically, there are three procedures for hernia repair; Laparoscopy, open repair, and robotic repair. Both hernia and piles need treatment.

Question 3

my mom is 67 with 6mm gallstones but she can't handle general anesthesia because of lung fibrosis and severe sleep apnea is there any way to remove her gallbladder with laser or local anesthesia instead

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's possible to remove a gallbladder with 6mm gallstones, even with lung fibrosis and severe sleep apnea, by exploring alternative anesthetic options and potentially using a minimally invasive approach. While laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is usually done under general anesthesia, regional or local anesthesia can be considered, especially in cases where general anesthesia is problematic. Laser-assisted techniques, while not as common, might also be considered in certain scenarios
