Postoperative care measures for inguinal hernia are as follows: 1. early postoperative pressure dressing of the wound; 2. after the patient has passed anesthesia, it is generally recommended to get out of bed early, which is also an important measure to promote the patient’s recovery and prevent deep vein thrombosis, because some elderly patients have a relatively smooth operation, but long bed rest leads to poor blood flow, resulting in deep vein thrombosis. This thrombus has the risk of dislodging and may endanger the cardiovascular system, so elderly patients are encouraged to get out of bed early. 3. It is also possible to keep the bowel and stool open with the help of drugs to reduce the increase of intra-abdominal pressure, which is beneficial to the patient’s recovery.
