How a child’s hernia should be treated

  The standard medical name for “pediatric hernia” is “pediatric inguinal hernia”, commonly known as “hernia”, “pneumocele” The standard medical name for “pediatric inguinal hernia” is “pediatric inguinal hernia”, commonly known as “hernia”, “gas egg”, “prolapse”, etc.  Treatment principles: 1. Non-intrusive hernia: (1) If the onset of the hernia is observed at birth until 6 months of age and there is no tendency of self-healing, elective surgery can be performed, and 1-3 years of age is the best age for treatment.  (2) Non-birth onset: 1-3 months of observation, no improvement, then elective surgery. Age is not limited.  (2) Incarcerated hernia: immediate hospitalization (1) those with incarcerated time less than 8-12 hours can be returned on a trial basis, with immediate surgery for failure and surgery after 3 days for success; (2) immediate surgery for incarcerated time greater than 12 hours.  The majority of pediatric hernias require surgery, and surgery is the best treatment option. Hernia belts are only suitable for those who do not have the conditions for surgery in the short term, and most of them are ineffective; injection therapy has been eliminated and is likely to bring great harm to the children. Minimally invasive laparoscopic treatment is recommended. Laparoscopic surgery is less invasive, has a low recurrence rate, quick recovery, cosmetic, and can deal with both sides of the lesion at the same time, and is discharged three days after surgery.
