What is meant by a hernia? An inguinal hernia is formed when an organ or tissue in the abdominal cavity, together with the peritoneal wall layer, protrudes to the body surface through a weak point in the abdominal wall. When the body is in an upright position, this area is under the most pressure. When there are congenital or acquired factors that make the abdominal wall in this area weak, the organs in the abdominal cavity will protrude through this area, thus forming an inguinal hernia. Just like a tire, when the outer tire is damaged and the inner tire bulges out of the breach, the internal structures of the abdominal wall bulge out through the weak abdominal wall to form a sac. What happens when I have a hernia? If a hernia is not treated in time, the hernia mass will gradually increase in size over time, causing an increasingly large mass to form in the inguinal region, bringing invariance to our daily life and making the quality of life lower. When the patient suddenly exerts force on the abdomen, more intestinal tubes will protrude from the defective area, resulting in the hernia contents being embedded, which may cause intestinal obstruction or even intestinal strangulation necrosis and threaten the patient’s life. How is a hernia treated? Surgery is the only means to cure a hernia. The principle of surgery for a hernia is like patching a garment; we can put the patch on the outside or the patch on the inside. If the traditional open patch on the abdominal wall is a patch from the outside, then the laparoscopic patch is a patch from the inside. Surgeons usually make two 5-mm and one 10-mm holes in the abdominal wall, and with the patch and other instruments, they can perform all types of hernia repair surgery. It has the advantages of laparoscopic surgery, such as beautiful postoperative abdominal wound, no wound infection, less surgical bleeding, less painful incision, shorter hospital stay (about 3-5 days), faster recovery of intestinal function and earlier return to work, which are incomparable to traditional surgery. Meanwhile, for repair of bilateral inguinal hernia, recurrent hernia, and exploration of the contralateral occult hernia, laparoscopic surgery is the latest procedure for hernia repair, which has the advantages of less trauma, less pain, and faster recovery. All patients had remarkable results, and none of them had recurrence.
