Inguinal hernias in one-and-a-half year olds usually do not heal on their own. They are usually treated by traditional hernia repair, which involves ligating the hernia sac high up, strengthening or repairing the wall of the inguinal canal, and commonly used methods include the Bassini method, the McVay method, the Halsted method, and the Shouldice method, among others.
It can also be treated by tension-free hernia repair, where the defect is repaired without tension using a mesh of artificial polymer material, and laparoscopic hernia repair, where the defect in the abdominal wall is strengthened from the inside with a synthetic fiber mesh.
