Surgery is generally recommended for hernias in 60 year olds. If the patient is in poor health and has a combination of other serious illnesses that cannot tolerate surgery, he or she may choose not to undergo surgery after the doctor evaluates his or her condition. Most inguinal hernias can only be cured by surgical treatment, and the appropriate surgical procedure needs to be chosen according to the patient’s condition. Commonly used surgical procedures include: traditional hernia repair, tension-free hernia repair, and laparoscopic hernia repair. Traditional hernia repair involves ligating the hernia sac in a high position and repairing the wall of the inguinal canal, which has the disadvantage of high suture tension and postoperative pulling sensation. Tension-free hernia repair is to repair the hernia with artificial patch without tension, characterized by light postoperative pain, fast recovery and low recurrence rate. Laparoscopic hernia repair is characterized by small trauma, fast recovery, low recurrence rate, and is more advantageous for the repair of multiple recurrent hernia and occult hernia. For patients with serious co-morbidities or poor health, who cannot tolerate surgery, they may choose not to have surgery after comprehensive evaluation of their conditions.
