Elderly people with 2 operations for inguinal hernias that recur years later still need repair surgery. The recurrence rate of inguinal hernia in the elderly is relatively high. The abdominal tissues of the elderly are weak, and suffering from inguinal hernia leads to fragility of the tissues around the hernia, and the scope of degeneration increases, so even after 2 times of surgical repairs, the surgical site will be prone to splitting open on its own. On the other hand, some elderly people do not use hernia patches during surgery, just ligating the hernia sac, and the patient’s peritoneal tension is higher after surgery, so it will recur again. If a hernia recurs after surgery, it can be treated with surgery again if the patient’s health is still good enough for surgery; otherwise, it can be treated conservatively with a hernia fixation belt. Elderly people often suffer from prostate hypertrophy, chronic bronchitis, constipation and other diseases, easy to lead to a sustained increase in abdominal pressure, should be actively treated. Elderly people with inguinal hernia recurrence after 2 surgeries for many years, it is recommended that the patient go to the regular hospital timely consultation, under the guidance of the doctor to choose the most suitable treatment plan.
