An inguinal hernia is a mass formed when the intestines of the abdominal cavity protrude subcutaneously through a weak area in the inguinal region. The most direct cause is a break in the transversal femoral fascia in the abdominal cavity, which fails to intercept the internal organs and allows them to “break out” and fall into the abdominal cavity, forming a “hernia”, which is called “hernia It is called “hernia” or “small intestine string gas” in Chinese medicine, and “kidney wind” in Chaoshan area. Hernia can be seen or felt. If you find a lump at the root of your thigh or near your abdominal area, which may disappear when you lie down and may occasionally feel painful and uncomfortable, and may get worse when you move, cough or defecate, you may have a hernia and should see a doctor as soon as possible. Adult hernia cannot heal on its own. If left untreated for a long time, the hernia will take too long to form, causing the hernia ring opening to relax and expand, resulting in more hernia contents (intestinal tubes and organs) protruding outside the body and the hernia getting bigger and bigger, which will seriously affect the quality of life of the patient and may also cause pain or digestive symptoms, etc. When the patient suddenly strains the abdomen, such as coughing, sneezing, or trying to defecate, the abdominal pressure increases for a short time, and the already broken transversal femoral fascia cannot bear such a burden, resulting in more visceral tissues “protruding” from the defective area and forming a hernia inlay, then the patient should go to the hospital in time, because the stuck This is because the stuck internal tissues cannot be retracted and may cause intestinal obstruction or even ischemic necrosis, which can be life-threatening in serious cases. Within a year after birth, parents can see or feel a swelling in the scrotum of these children, which can be returned to the abdominal cavity by lightly pressing the swelling with the fingers. This is a pediatric hernia. Some people who have inguinal hernia seek medical help everywhere with the sole purpose of not having surgery, but the consequence of this is that the condition becomes more and more serious and the treatment becomes more and more difficult. This is because conservative therapies, including hernia braces, hernia belts and herbal treatments, can only temporarily relieve the symptoms and cannot cure the problem. Hernia in adults and children over one year old is not self-healing (the inguinal canal of infants is not occluded until 6 months after birth, so it is possible for infant hernia to heal itself within 6 months), and surgery is the only way to cure the hernia and should be performed as early as possible. The problems of pain and recurrence caused by surgery have been radically improved with the progress of modern medicine, the surgery is very traumatic and the recurrence rate after surgery is very low. So, what are the methods of hernia surgery and what is the scope of their respective applications? High ligation of the hernia sac: for pediatric hernia; Traditional tension repair (a repair method in which the defective tissue is pulled together and sutured): this method is now rarely used because of its high tension, slow postoperative recovery, long bed rest, heavy pain and high recurrence rate. However, it is still used in some areas in China. Modern individualized tension-free repair: the mainstream surgical method nowadays, together with advances in anesthesia methods and improved surgical techniques, has the advantages of conforming to human anatomy, less injury, less pain, shorter operative time, faster patient recovery, and lower recurrence rate, and is currently the preferred method for inguinal hernia repair. Inguinal hernia is a common and frequent disease, and inguinal hernia repair is one of the most routine and important surgical procedures, but it is not a “minor surgery”, it is a typical anatomical surgery, which is regarded as a model of perfect combination of anatomy and surgery. It is a typical anatomical procedure and is considered a perfect combination of anatomy and surgery. Therefore, it must be performed by a general surgeon with specialized training to minimize pain, damage, and the possibility of recurrence.
