Infantile hernias tend to occur in the abdomen, with inguinal hernias being the most common. The incidence of inguinal hernia in infants is about 5%, with a higher incidence of about 15%-25% in premature infants (less than 37 weeks) and usually higher in boys than in girls. There are two treatments for inguinal hernia in infants: (1) non-surgical treatment: generally, it is recommended that it can be suspended without surgery up to 1 year of age, and some children have the possibility of self-healing. 2. Surgical treatment: after the age of 1 year, inguinal hernia has no possibility of self-healing and requires surgical treatment, i.e. high ligation of the hernia sac. In the event of impaction of the hernia contents, communication with a specialist pediatric surgeon should be made and failure of manual repositioning may require emergency surgery. A successful manual repositioning with suspected intestinal perforation, etc., should lead to immediate surgical exploration. Most umbilical hernias in infants heal spontaneously, usually within 1 year of age. Umbilical rings less than 1 cm in diameter can close on their own without any treatment. If the umbilical ring is particularly large, especially if it tends to increase in size, it is unlikely to heal on its own. Early surgery is recommended. Parents should note that coin compression and bandage tightening do not assist in self-healing. Infantile hernias are generally divided into non-surgical and surgical treatments. Parents should actively communicate with a professional pediatrician and choose the appropriate method, rather than listening to the so-called “no injection, no surgery” prescriptions.
