Many children with syringomyelia are encountered in daily medical practice. Parents may ask: What is syringomyelia and how is it different from a hernia? How should it be treated? Well, today we are going to talk about what syringomyelia is! How does a syringomyelia form? First of all, like a hernia, it is caused by the failure of the sphincter to close. To put it simply, there is a small defect in the stomach that does not close, and when the defect is very thin in diameter, only water can flow down the defect to the inguinal level scrotum, and that forms a syringomyelia! But when the defect is large, the intestinal canal goes down along the defect, and a hernia is formed. So what is our treatment? So, like a hernia, the only thing that can be done is to sew up the defect! Of course, our recommendation is to perform minimally invasive laparoscopic treatment for the same reasons as my minimally invasive treatment for hernias! The treatment is basically scarless, but also at the same time you can observe the opposite side and treat any problems at the same time, eliminating the pain of another surgery.
