My cousin was just diagnosed with two gallstones - one is 7mm and the other 4mm. Do they need surgery to remove these or can it be managed without an operation? If surgery is needed, would it be considered a minor or major procedure and roughly what would the cost be?
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a very safe, minimally invasive, daycare surgery. If your epilepsy is well controlled, there’s usually no added risk. If it’s not well controlled, you can first focus on stabilizing it and then plan the surgery—it’s not an emergency. In the meantime, avoid oily and spicy food and maintain a healthy lifestyle to manage symptoms. Also, for gallstones, the gallbladder needs to be removed—just removing the stones won’t help, as they tend to recur. And ESWL is effective only for kidney stones, not for gallstones.

My baby is one month old and has an inguinal hernia. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm worried is this a minor procedure and is it safe for such a young baby
Surgery is usually necessary to prevent complications like the hernia getting trapped (incarceration) or the blood supply being cut off (strangulation). In this process, the hernia sac is tied off to stop the hernia from protruding further. After surgery, pain management and close monitoring for any issues are crucial
