The medical name for “small intestinal gas” is hernia. There are many types of hernia, including inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia, incisional hernia, white line hernia, lumbar hernia, etc., which occurs in the lower abdomen and thigh junction of the inguinal hernia is the most common. “The main performance of inguinal hernia is a localized lump protruding when standing, the lump protrudes more obviously when exertion, early lying down after the lump can disappear on its own, often accompanied by local discomfort or pain; after the gradual increase of the lump, some patients can even enter the scrotum. If the above symptoms, you should consider the possibility of inguinal hernia, need to go to the hospital in time. In most cases, small intestinal gas is not a big problem, but it can cause a lot of inconvenience to daily life. What’s more, it has the potential for acute complications, which, if left untreated, can lead to serious consequences such as intestinal necrosis or even death. There are no effective drugs for hernia treatment, only surgical repair can solve the problem at root. A hernia is like a hole in your clothing, where the intestines protrude through the hernia and form a bag-like bulge, so hernia repair is actually a process of “mending” the hole. Repairing a hernia sounds simple, but in clinical practice there is a lot to learn. In the past, the surgical method was to force the relatively healthy tissue at the edge of the hernia hole to be sewn up, which has a lot of shortcomings: such as forcibly pulling and tissue, which will cause obvious and persistent postoperative pain; the postoperative recovery period is long, and it takes a long period of bed rest to return to daily life and work; and, more importantly, the recurrence of hernia after surgery is high, usually around 10%-15%, because the tissue around the hernia hole is usually weak and low strength, which makes it easier to repair the hernia. This is because the tissues around the hernia hole are usually weak and low in strength, and when these tissues are forced together, they will produce greater tension, which will easily lead to tearing again and cause hernia recurrence. In recent years, advances in material science have led to the emergence of a new type of “tension-free repair” based on a “patch” (a polymer material compatible with human tissue). The use of patches is like using “patches” to mend clothes, with the patch acting as a patch, preserving the original physiological structure and tissue levels of the body to the maximum extent possible. Moreover, the mesh structure of the patch can play the role of scaffolding, so that the body’s own tissues along the patch scaffolding growth, and fill in the mesh structure to form a solid protective layer, which is somewhat similar to building a house with reinforcing bars and cement, playing a 1 + 1 > 2 effect. This overcomes many of the disadvantages of traditional surgery: 1. No forcible pulling of the surrounding tissues, postoperative pain is light. 2. Shorter recovery time, you can get out of bed and walk around one day after surgery. 3. Postoperative recurrence rate is less than 1%. There is also an extremely wide variety of patches available, and with advances in material science, new types of patches are emerging, with the goal, of course, of better results and fewer adverse reactions. Experienced surgeons will choose the appropriate patch for the surgical repair of each hernia. There is also a lot to be learned about the method of tension-free repair with a patch. The repair can be done through traditional open surgery, which is a 5-6cm incision in the inguinal area, or laparoscopically, which involves making three small holes 0.5-1.2cm in size in the abdominal wall, and then operating through the laparoscope. Both methods have the same goal of placing patches over the hernia holes that need to be repaired, the difference is the surgical route. The laparoscopic technique for hernia treatment further demonstrates the advantages of less invasive and faster recovery of tension-free hernia repair, and is a completely new option for modern hernia treatment. Relative to open surgery, its advantages are: 1, fine and exact surgical operation, less trauma, and the incidence of acute and chronic postoperative pain is much lower than that of open surgery. 2, rapid postoperative recovery, return to daily work and life in a short period of time, especially when the leave time is short office workers. 3, laparoscopy can be a comprehensive view of the condition, can be timely detection of the opposite side of the hidden hernia usually missed because there is no attack. 4.Bilateral hernia can be operated through the same wound, avoiding surgical scarring on both sides. 5.No obvious scar after surgery, safe and beautiful. However, its disadvantage is that it requires general anesthesia, which is not suitable for those patients with poor cardiopulmonary function and those who have had major surgery on the lower abdomen, in addition, the cost is higher than that of open surgery, and the operation of the doctor is more demanding. Read the above text, is not think small intestinal gas this small disease of the treatment of great care ah. In fact, you do not need to worry, you need to pay attention to whether there are symptoms of hernia, once suspected, should be early to see a hernia specialist. As for the surgery, you do not have to worry, because no matter what kind of surgery, in most cases, hernia repair is a safe and reliable surgery, just leave it to the doctor, professional hernia surgeon will be able to customize the most suitable surgical plan for you.
