Hernia surgery in children is usually performed between the ages of half and one year. Some children’s hernias can close on their own within the first half year of life, and the hernia may disappear on its own. However, after the age of half a year, hernias usually do not resolve on their own and need to be treated with surgery. As the child grows older, the amount of activity gradually increases, and the abdominal pressure gradually increases. At this time, the intestinal tubes or contents of the abdominal cavity can easily herniate into the scrotum or inguinal area and become incarcerated, so it is best to perform surgery before the age of one year. There is no absolute limit to the age at which surgery can be performed. If there are special circumstances, such as recurrent incarceration of a hernia in a newborn, surgery can be performed as early as possible, or if the hernia is detected later, after the age of one year, it can be operated as early as possible. It is recommended that the child seek prompt medical attention to have the condition evaluated by a doctor and undergo surgery or observation at regular intervals.
