Abdominal wall hernia is a common and frequent disease, with an incidence of about 1‰ to 5‰ in the general population. However, the general public lacks proper understanding of abdominal wall hernia, resulting in improper treatment or delayed treatment for patients. Many people feel that inguinal hernia can be left untreated when it is small and then treated when it is large. In fact, inguinal hernia in adults has no tendency to heal itself. When they are small, the mass is confined to the inguinal region, but when they get older, some of them may fall into the scrotum and affect their daily life. In some of these patients, the mass cannot be retracted into the abdominal cavity, causing intestinal intussusception, which can lead to intestinal necrosis and endanger life. Therefore, for adult patients with inguinal hernia, surgery should be performed as soon as possible once the diagnosis is confirmed. Many people wonder whether inguinal hernia can be treated with non-surgical treatment such as hernia tray or sclerosing agent injection first and then opt for surgical treatment when this is not effective. As a matter of fact, hernia brace treatment is only of some value in patients who are clinically ineligible for surgery and have lost the chance of surgery; as for sclerotherapy, it has long been abandoned abroad as a backward and negative treatment method. Awareness 3: The primary consideration for reversible lumps around the belly button is “umbilical hernia” Individuals ask: there is a lump under the belly button, which used to disappear when lying down, but recently the lump cannot disappear when lying down, and there is pain around the belly button, what is the reason? The first thing to consider when a reversible lump is found around the belly button is an umbilical hernia. The fat in the stomach is stuck in the umbilical hernia defect, which is caused by the inability to retract. If it does not retract for a long time and causes necrosis of the tissues in the stomach, it may have very serious consequences and must be seen immediately in the hospital. Surgery is the only effective method. Awareness 4: “Open surgery” or “laparoscopic drilling” varies from disease to disease and from person to person Many patients with incisional hernia of the abdominal wall are uncertain about the treatment method and delay surgery. Should the surgery be open surgery or “hole-punching surgery (laparoscopic technique)”? Experts believe that, first of all, the patient’s condition should not be delayed and should be operated as soon as possible. As for whether it is “open” or “hole”, it depends on the condition. If conditions permit, laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery is preferred, and the repair is indeed less traumatic and less painful. Various methods have different indications, according to the specific circumstances of the patient to consider, choose a professional physician to analyze and decide the optimal individualized surgical program.
