Overview
- Repetto reported her one‑and‑a‑half‑month‑old son underwent urgent outpatient repair for an inguinal hernia and is now recovering at home.
- She said she spotted the swelling days earlier, prompting quick surgery to prevent a trapped intestine, a known risk with untreated inguinal hernias.
- The baby, she wrote, woke well from anesthesia, fed normally, urinated and passed stool, kept good oxygen levels, and stayed in good spirits before going home the same day.
- She thanked surgeon Germán Falke and the anesthetist, calling it extremely distressing to leave her sedated newborn on the operating table.
- Citing her own and her older son's past hernias, she plans a weekly “open clinic” on Instagram with neonatal specialist Águeda Figueroa to share guidance, and followers have already offered support.
