If a 5-year-old child has an early incarcerated hernia, manipulation can be considered, otherwise, in principle, early surgical treatment is required.
If a 5-year-old child has an incarcerated hernia, but the time is less than 3~4 hours, there is no obvious localized pressure and pain, and there is no sign of peritoneal irritation, manipulation can be considered, but there is a risk of squeezing through the intestinal tube and sending necrotic intestinal tubes back to the abdominal cavity, so it needs to be used with caution.
If the maneuver fails, surgery is required. In addition to the above, hernias usually require early surgical treatment, and surgical repair is the most effective treatment. Surgical options include traditional hernia repair, tension-free hernia repair, and laparoscopic hernia repair.
If your child develops a hernia, it is recommended that he or she be taken to the doctor as soon as possible for treatment.
