The most important feature of hernia is that it is reversible. Basically, the mass will disappear when lying down, or it will go in after pushing by hand. If the hernia still appears occasionally over the age of one, it means that the sphincter is not completely atretic, and as the activity increases with age, the “strange bag” will come out sooner or later, and at this time there is basically no possibility of self-healing, so it should be operated as early as possible. Surgical procedure: <10 minutes With the development of minimally invasive surgery in recent years, laparoscopic surgery for children has been carried out in major hospitals. Relatively speaking, hernia surgery is a relatively simple operation, requiring only a high ligature laparoscopically. The operation time is within 10 minutes for unilateral hernia, and more than 10 minutes for bilateral. Indications: >1 year old Generally, over 1 year old should go for treatment and the only way to cure the hernia is surgery. Because minimally invasive surgery requires general anesthesia, minimally invasive surgery can be done as long as there are no contraindications to minimally invasive surgery, no recent colds, fevers, rashes or serious preexisting heart disease, and no infectious or acute diseases. Surgery time: 365 days at your disposal Hernia surgery is elective and is scheduled according to your own or your child’s schedule. There is no requirement for seasonality, it is possible all year round. However, special attention should be paid to whether an impaction occurs. An impaction that lasts more than four hours is a red flag. If it still cannot be reset after more than four hours you should go to the hospital as soon as possible and never delay surgery until strangulation has occurred. Hospital stay: <1 day Usually, minimally invasive surgery patients can eat once they are awake from anesthesia and can get out of bed the same day after surgery, or they can be discharged home without special care.
