View allMy 2-month-old baby has been diagnosed with a right inguinal hernia measuring 17x9.3 mm, with omental and bowel herniation going into the scrotal sac. The ultrasound shows maintained vascularity and minimal free fluid. Is open surgery under local anesthesia safe for such a young baby? I'm really worried about the risks at this age.
Open inguinal hernia repair, even under local anesthesia, is generally considered safe for a 2-month-old baby, especially when ultrasound findings indicate maintained vascularity and minimal fluid. However, the decision to proceed with surgery, including the type of anesthesia, should be made by a qualified pediatric surgeon in consultation with the parents, considering the baby's overall health, the severity of the hernia, and the surgeon's experience

I'm 20 and have fibroadenoma with multiple small lumps in both breasts but one is bigger and needs open surgery I'm worried about scars since I'm not married yet are there any treatments that won't leave marks on my breasts
For the fibroadenoma requiring surgery, the main concern is scarring. While complete avoidance of scarring is impossible, minimally invasive techniques and careful surgical practices can minimize the visible marks. For the smaller, multiple fibroadenomas, cryoablation or vacuum-assisted biopsy might be suitable options.
