The 88-year-old gentleman with “small intestine gas” was rejected by many hospitals in Ningbo because of multiple chronic diseases. The team received him and performed an open tension-free hernia repair under local anesthesia and discharged him from the hospital after a day of observation. Don’t think that a hernia is too small to be solved as early as possible, don’t wait for a stuck intestine to be operated on in an emergency, the risk of surgery is greatly increased How does a hernia come about? But when an organ or tissue is removed from its proper place and enters another part through a weak point, defect or gap, either congenital or acquired, a “hernia” is formed. To put it in a more graphic way, there is a weak link somewhere in the body, and some organs or tissues near the “hole” are “strung out” from their duties due to stressful work or simply “skinned up”.
