I am a 22 year old male. I had an examination and was diagnosed with an inguinal hernia. Doctor let me ask if a 22-year-old person with an inguinal hernia can have laparoscopic surgery? Or, depending on the situation, consider laparoscopic or open surgery? Thank you doctor.

An inguinal hernia is a bulge at the junction of the thigh and torso. In boys, the bulge extends into the scrotum, the sac that holds the testicles. In girls, the bulge extends into the labia majora, the area around the vulva.

Inguinal hernia is a condition in which part of the abdominal organs such as intestines and greater omentum pass through the inguinal opening to form a hernia sac. The disease often occurs in men and regardless of age. The disease cannot heal on its own, it must be treated with surgery. Currently, laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery brings many advantages.
