Etiology: caused by the sphincter not closing, caused by development. Symptoms: The swelling appears in the groin or scrotum when the child cries or exerts increased abdominal pressure, and disappears on its own after quiet or gentle squeezing. Syringomyelia usually does not disappear, it is a cystic swelling in the scrotum or above the scrotum. Treatment: A hernia requires surgery. The appropriate age is 6 months or older, and 1 or 2 years is appropriate. Syringomyelia can be after 2 years of age. For the convenience of our patients, we have a “one-day surgery”, which means that the patient is admitted in the morning, operated in the afternoon, and discharged the next morning, with a doctor and anesthesiologist in charge of the “one-day surgery”. We have dedicated doctors and anesthesiologists to perform “one-day surgery”. The small incision is about 1 cm and the operation takes about 10 minutes. Reminder: 1. Be healthy before surgery. No fever, cough, diarrhea, no vaccination half a month before surgery. 2. Don’t use hernia belt for children’s hernia! It is used in the conservative treatment of the elderly and will not cure the hernia. Its use in children can affect the development of testicles and spermatic cord, and improper use can also cause consequences such as necrosis of the intestinal canal. Moreover, the hernia sac adheres to the surrounding tissues, making it difficult to do surgery when the time comes. Therefore, it is strongly discouraged to use it! Injection therapy is even more harmful! Some parents are afraid of surgery and look for non-surgical methods, which are unreliable and harmful. 3, pediatric surgery are general anesthesia. Modern anesthesia technology is high and intraoperative monitoring is standardized, so parents do not need to worry too much, and there is no legend that “general anesthesia will affect the brain”. 4. Once the hernia is stoned (the hernia cannot be retracted), go to the hospital immediately! 5. About minimally invasive surgery: Many parents of children mentioned “minimally invasive” in their consultation, but the medical term “minimally invasive” generally refers to laparoscopic surgery! The difference between laparoscopic surgery (minimally invasive) and conventional surgery is that conventional surgery involves a 1 cm incision in the transverse groin of the abdomen, which is easier to anesthetize and less traumatic, and our “one-day surgery” is such a small incision. In contrast, laparoscopic surgery requires 2-3 small holes in the abdomen, the establishment of an artificial pneumoperitoneum, and tracheal intubation during surgery. If some parents want to choose minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, they will be treated as regular hospitalization. So don’t just say “minimally invasive” when you inquire.
