For inguinal hernia patients, the choice of surgical incision or laparoscopic better, can not be a simple generalization; need to be combined with the patient’s own age, physical fitness, the degree of disease and other aspects of comprehensive consideration. For the younger, good health and condition suitable for laparoscopic treatment of patients, can give priority to laparoscopy; for example, for pediatric hernia patients, 70 years of age, adult patients with good health, laparoscopic surgery incision is smaller, less damage to the body, which is conducive to rapid postoperative healing, but also conducive to the aesthetic. For older patients, especially if they are in poor physical condition due to other underlying diseases, open surgery may be preferred. Because laparoscopy has certain requirements for the patient’s cardiopulmonary function, and open surgery uses epidural anesthesia, which is less traumatic to the patient and slightly shorter; however, the surgical incision is larger and requires longer recovery time. If you have any symptoms of physical discomfort, you should go to the hospital and consult your physician for guidance.
