Hello doc, my dad is 62 yo and he has an inguinal hernia, its been there for 3-4 years and causes no pain at all. Shall he undergo surgery or its ok?

No need for surgery unless it is causing problems like it is buldged and not coming back in, painful (if acute pain, it needs an urgent surgery), constipation, etc. If it is not bothering him at all, this can be deferred.
