I just got diagnosed with a right irreducible inguinal hernia with omentum inside and everyone's suggesting open surgery but I'm wondering why laparoscopy isn't an option here what are the pros and cons for my case
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Irreducible hernias with omentum are usually operated by open method due to risk of complications; laparoscopy is less preferred if there's obstruction or dense adhesions.

I have a pilonidal sinus and I'm trying to decide between laser treatment or flap surgery which one would be better for me I've heard mixed things and I'm not sure what to go for Also how much do these procedures usually cost
Both laser surgery (pilonidal laser treatment) and traditional surgery can be effective for pilonidal sinus. However, laser surgery may not always fully resolve the issue, and there's a chance of recurrence. Traditional surgery, while more invasive, typically offers a higher success rate for complete recovery.

I've had three hernia surgeries already and now I feel like it's coming back again. How do I push it back safely? I'm really confused and worried about what to do next.
It's understandable that you're concerned about a potential hernia recurrence after multiple surgeries. Do not attempt to push it back on your own. This could be dangerous and potentially cause serious complications. You should seek immediate medical attention to confirm the diagnosis and discuss appropriate treatment options
