My grandfather has reached the age of 87. He has an inguinal hernia in his right inguinal fold. Is it possible to cure without undergoing surgery? If not, what items and precautions should be taken prior to surgery at such an advanced age? Please keep in mind that the blood tests are normal. Only protein and HDL cholesterol are somewhat above average.
