Patient: Description of condition (onset, main symptoms, hospital visited, etc.): My child was found to have a hernia at the age of one. There were 3 times when the hernia was ingrown and the doctor put it up after going to the hospital. I want to take my child to you for treatment, how to do the procedure. Patient: Dr. Wang, we are employees of Zhongyuan Oilfield, and we have many children here who also have this disease, and they all had the surgery in our staff hospital here. I want to take my child to a better hospital to have the surgery because I think the surgery will affect the child’s brain. When is the right time to do it? Wang Minggang, Department of Hernia and Abdominal Wall Surgery, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital: Just make an appointment online before you come, I know you are coming and I will reserve a bed for you Hello, the treatment of hernia in children is generally recommended to be best from 2 to 6 years old, but our current experience is that children who cannot heal themselves after the age of 1 should be operated as soon as possible. The risk of recurrence increases significantly after the age of 6. The key is that the operation time is very short. I usually operate on a child’s hernia in less than 10-15 minutes, and the drug is administered in one pass and metabolized quickly, which has no effect on the child. Childhood hernia is a very common pediatric congenital disease that still needs to be taken seriously and treated urgently so as not to affect development. Laparoscopic high ligation is a very safe and minimally invasive surgical procedure with minimal recurrence. Of course, open surgery is also very reliable, depending on which procedure the physician is more familiar with.
