Most hernia patients tend to take conservative treatment rather than surgical treatment. Every year, thousands of hernia patients suffer from the disease in silence, thus delaying the disease and causing serious consequences. Professor Peng Lin of the Department of Vascular Thyroid Ventral Hernia Surgery of Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital urges that hernia patients should pay attention to their health and should be treated with surgery as early as possible when suffering from hernia, which is currently the only effective treatment recognized by the medical profession. The highest prevalence of hernia in the elderly China is gradually entering an aging society, and as the elderly population continues to grow, the number of hernia patients is also on the rise. The highest prevalence of hernia is among the elderly, with a prevalence rate of 11.5% among those over 60 years of age. The prevalence of hernia in the elderly is 11.5%, especially in older men. Once suffering from a hernia, elderly patients will suffer great pain and their daily life will be seriously affected, and some elderly people even become unable to “get their grandchildren together”. If left untreated, the hernia mass will gradually increase in size and the condition will get worse. Once the hernia is stuck at the ring and cannot be reset, it can cause intestinal necrosis and even threaten life. Most elderly hernia patients have limited mobility and lack health knowledge, and their children are too busy with their own careers and families to care for their parents. These factors often lead to delaying the disease and aggravating the physical and mental damage. Professor Peng Lin calls on children to pay more attention to the health of the elderly and help them seek early medical treatment and standardized treatment. More than 80% of patients are not effectively treated At present, most patients have misconceptions about the treatment of hernia, believing that hernia is not painful and does not require treatment, and some patients will delay treatment for years or even decades. Some patients listen to folk remedies and take conservative treatment, thus delaying the time to save their lives. Most elderly hernia patients suffer alone in silence, causing more serious sequelae. Some studies show that more than 80% of hernia patients do not receive effective treatment, so it is important to popularize the correct concept of hernia treatment. In the last two years, 67-year-old Master Liu had a small lump bulging out of his lower abdomen when he walked. He had been reminded that it was a hernia, but he did not think it was. It was not until a few days ago when the lump suddenly became five times its usual size and there was severe pain that Master Liu went to the doctor. When the doctor examined him, he found that the bulging mass was the squeezed out intestine, and that it had become necrotic due to ischemia and could only be cut out. If Master Liu had sought medical attention early, real-time reset and minor surgery would have made his recovery easier and prevented intestinal necrosis. Surgery is the only effective method Age itself is not a no-go area for surgical treatment. Having a hernia should be treated with surgery as early as possible, and surgery is currently recognized by the medical community as the only effective treatment and the mainstream way to treat hernia. For the characteristics of elderly patients, a surgical procedure with short operation time, little injury, low complication and recurrence rate should be used. The most used method nowadays is the open tension-free anterior peritoneal hernia repair, which has the advantages of short duration, low pain and fast recovery. The “new cloth” used is a modern polymeric synthetic material, such as a partially absorbable three-in-one hernia repair device, which can completely cover the weak spot in the inguinal region and can be mostly absorbed by the body. This material is mostly absorbed by the body and provides good post-operative comfort, good surgical results, very low recurrence rate and minimal impact on daily life. “The procedure can be done on an outpatient basis, with the surgery being performed during the day and going home at night.
