I'm a 30-year-old active guy who plays sports and my wedding is coming up in April 2022. Just found out I have small bilateral inguinal hernias. Wondering if I should get the surgery done now or if it's okay to wait until after the wedding since I don't want it to affect my big day or recovery

It's generally recommended to repair bilateral inguinal hernias, even if they are small, due to the risk of complications like strangulation. However, the timing of the surgery can be discussed with your surgeon based on your individual needs and priorities.

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.

My 4-month-old son was born with imperforate anus and had a colostomy done. He weighs 6 kg now when is the right time for his next major surgery? Also, will he be able to potty train normally in the future?
The ideal timing for the next major surgery (reconstructive surgery) depends on individual factors and the severity of the malformation. While 3-6 months is a typical timeframe after a colostomy, the child's weight, overall health, and the surgeon's assessment are key considerations. Nemours KidsHealth
