How safe is an inguinal hernia via open surgery?

Open surgery for inguinal hernia repair is almost safe. You may get a big incision (cut) on your body. However, there is no need to worry about the hernia recurrence. If experienced surgeons do the surgery, the possibility of a hernia coming back is low. 

Surgeons do most inguinal hernia repair surgeries on an outpatient basis. This means you can go home the same day or maybe the next day. You may recover easily in around three weeks. The recovery period may vary; it depends on how your body responds to the treatment. Most people who have open surgery can return to daily life after three weeks. If you do not have any complications or persistent pain after the surgery, it’s a successful one. 

Nowadays, surgeons use synthetic patches for hernia surgery in both open and laparoscopic surgery, which is usually risk-free. However, after the surgery, you must do nothing that causes pain. Avoid strenuous exercise and driving until you recover completely. I
