Is it true that after surgery I will not get a hernia again? The recurrence factor is multifaceted, and the recurrence rate of our surgery is very low, about one in a thousand, which is related to the surgical experience, and also to the child’s own factors. The common reasons are: a large hernia at too young an age, the presence of loose transversal abdominal fascia, a history of multiple recurrent hernia surgeries, a combination of high intra-abdominal pressure (asthma, constipation, etc.), etc. Such children are more prone to recurrence than normal people. If I have a hernia on one side, will the probability of getting a hernia on the other side increase? According to incomplete statistics, the incidence of bilateral hernia is about 25%. However, if a hernia appears on the opposite side soon after a hernia surgery on one side, this is most often seen in open surgery, where a hidden hernia already exists on the opposite side at the time of the hernia, only that there are no symptoms and it is not detected, and it is not because one side was done that the opposite side is prone to hernia. Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery can detect and treat occult hernia at the same time. At the end of the interview, I would like to ask Director Liu to summarize that you have seen a lot of children in the clinic, which cases do you think should be recommended for surgery and which cases can be observed and looked at? The age group is the main thing. If the hernia is over one year old, surgery should be performed, as there is no possibility of self-healing after one year old. If the hernia gets bigger and bigger over the age of half a year and often becomes ingrown, such a child can be operated on even if he is less than one year old. If the incarcerated hernia cannot be repositioned, it should be operated urgently and not wait for the emergence of strangulated hernia, which is dangerous. The operation is very short and the patient can be discharged on the same day. Are there any special problems that the patient needs to pay attention to during the recovery period? After the single-port laparoscopic surgery, the child was able to eat and move freely once the anesthesia woke up. Why is the recovery so fast? Because the abdominal wall at the navel and white line is thin and there are no muscles, nerves or blood vessels passing through, plus the wound is small, reducing postoperative incisional pain. The operation time is short and there is no trauma in the abdominal cavity, so you can get out of bed soon after the operation and no special care is needed. Many parents say that our children are particularly naughty, jumpy and crying. Minimally invasive surgery can achieve reliable intra-abdominal high ligation, and as long as they do not do strenuous exercise, they are usually not affected. In terms of diet, do not overeat on the day after surgery, it is best to give your child something that is well digested and keep the bowels open after surgery.
