The medical term for pediatric hernia is “inguinal hernia”, which can occur in both sexes and is more common in boys. The disease is mostly congenital and occurs when there is an increase in abdominal pressure and other triggers, and the intestinal canal or appendix-ovary organ is prolapsed. If it persists for a long time and the child cries or vomits, he/she should be seen immediately. The doctor will usually reset it manually, and if the reset fails, emergency surgery is required. Hernia can only be cured by surgery. We do not advocate parents to use hernia belt because if it is too tight it will affect the blood flow to the testicles. The surgery is divided into conventional and laparoscopic surgery, both of which are minimally invasive and can be chosen by the parents themselves. For conventional surgery, we can arrange outpatient surgery for children between 1 and 6 years old and they can leave the hospital on the same day. Children younger than 1 year old or older than 26 kg or laparoscopic surgery require inpatient surgery and are slightly more expensive. Once the diagnosis is clear, early surgery is recommended. For an incarcerated hernia (one that does not return on its own), parents should seek prompt medical attention, as the intestinal canal may become necrotic and endanger the child’s life if it takes too long. At present, our department carries out minimally invasive surgery for hernia, which has the advantages of aesthetic appearance, quick recovery, simultaneous examination of the opposite side for hernia and timely treatment.
