Is it covered under insurance?
Is the treatment covered under insurance?
Adult hernia surgery is covered under insurance. Pediatric hernias may or may not be covered. It depends on the terms and conditions of individual insurance companies, types of insurance and on the medical condition of the child.
How is the recovery after surgery?
Open hernia surgery, in which a surgeon utilizes a long incision to push the bulging organ back into place, generally requires a minimum of three weeks to recover. If a laparoscopic hernia repair is performed, recovery is closer to one to two weeks.
