First of all, it should be clear that “hernia” is not self-curing! Chinese herbal medicine, hernia brace, hernia belt compression or sclerotherapy injections cannot cure a hernia, but will delay the disease and make it worse, even leading to a life-threatening “hernia impaction”. Surgical repair is the only way to treat a hernia. There are many surgical treatments for hernias, but the traditional method is to sew up the abdominal wall defect directly, and this method is still used in some primary care hospitals. This method causes a lot of tension in the abdominal wall, which results in severe postoperative pain and requires three months of rest before the patient can recover, and is prone to recurrence. Nowadays, artificial patch anechoic hernia repair is mostly used, which is like patching a tire and putting a rubber piece into the rupture, which is obviously much more reliable and solid than the traditional surgery of pulling the rupture together directly and stiffly. There are various methods of tension-free hernia repair such as flat patch repair, mesh plug patch repair, memory patch repair, laparoscopic patch repair and composite patch repair. A hernia specialist’s opinion is needed on how to treat a hernia. Depending on the hernia condition and material characteristics of different patients, hernia surgeons can develop individualized treatment plans so that different patients can receive the most suitable repair method and ultimately achieve the goal of radically reducing the recurrence rate and complication rate after surgery.
