What is a hernia? Inguinal hernia, commonly known as “small intestine gas”, is formed by the protrusion of organs or tissues in the abdominal cavity, together with the peritoneal wall layer, to the body surface through the weak point of the abdominal wall, with the appearance of a sac and the feeling of gas inside. When the body is in an upright position, this area is under the most pressure, and 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 and form a sac. Hernias can occur in men and women of any age, but are more common in children and older adults. What happens when I have a hernia? Hernias do not get better over time, i.e. they do not go away (heal) on their own. If left untreated, the hernia lump will gradually increase in size over time, causing an increasingly large lump to form in the groin area, bringing invariance to our daily life and making the quality of life worse. When the patient suddenly exerts force on the abdomen, more intestinal tubes will protrude from the defect area, leading to the herniated contents becoming 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 of curing 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 patching with a knife on the abdominal wall is done from the outside, then the laparoscopic patching is done 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 bowel function and earlier return to work, which cannot be compared with traditional surgery. At the same time, laparoscopic surgery has unique advantages for repairing bilateral inguinal hernia and detecting hidden hernia on the opposite side. She is skilled in laparoscopic surgery and specializes in all kinds of laparoscopic hernia repair. She has successfully performed many cases of laparoscopic total extraperitoneal inguinal hernia tension-free repair (TEP), which is the latest procedure for laparoscopic hernia repair with the advantages of less trauma, less pain and faster recovery. All patients had remarkable results and none of them had recurrence.
