What is a “hernia”? A hernia, commonly known as a small intestine, can occur anywhere in the body and is a common occurrence. What is commonly referred to as a hernia is an abdominal wall hernia, where tissue or organs from the abdominal cavity enter other “sectors” of the body through a weak point or defect in the abdominal wall. When a hernia forms, it can appear as a protruding mass on the surface of the body. “Hernias can be classified as inguinal, femoral, incisional and umbilical depending on the location of the protrusion, with inguinal hernias being the most common, accounting for 90% of hernias. ”Hernia can affect the physiology and psychology of the patient no matter where it occurs. Patients often experience swelling and pain, and this pain is exacerbated by urination, bowel movements, and even coughing. A “hernia” can cause ischemia, edema, and necrosis of the organs and tissues inside the hernia, which can endanger the patient’s life. ”Treatment of a hernia If you have a hernia, even if it does not seem serious, especially if you do not have any symptoms, it is important to seek immediate medical attention and determine a treatment plan. “A hernia will not go away on its own and if left untreated, it will only get worse and the resulting complications can be life-threatening. The only way to treat a hernia is to perform surgery. With advances in medical technology, surgeons around the world have come up with a whole new concept of what causes and treats a hernia, clearly affirming that non-surgical methods such as wearing a “hernia belt” will not help to cure a hernia. Adult “hernias” are not self-healing and surgery should be performed as early as possible. Traditionally, inguinal hernias were managed by making a 6- to 8-cm incision in the inguinal region and placing a patch for reinforcement. In recent years, with the development of laparoscopic techniques and the reconceptualization of the anatomy of the inguinal canal, laparoscopic hernia repair has received increasing attention. It has been used as a routine procedure abroad and has been accepted by many medical practitioners in China. It is the most advanced form of hernia repair with a laparoscope (a small camera inserted into the abdominal cavity through a small incision in the abdominal wall) and hernia repair material (patch) to increase the strength of the abdominal wall. Laparoscopic hernia repair is suitable for all types of abdominal wall hernia, including pediatric hernia, adult inguinal hernia, incisional hernia, parastomal hernia, etc. It is also suitable for patients with multiple hernia, recurrent hernia, and older patients with multiple co-morbidities and poor surgical tolerance. The main types of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair are transperitoneal anterior hernia repair (TAPP) and complete extraperitoneal hernia repair (TEP). The recurrence rate after laparoscopic hernia repair is significantly lower than that of traditional open surgery, and is the main direction of future hernia treatment development. Only three small holes of 3~5 mm are required in the operation, and the postoperative recovery is fast and painful. You can get out of bed the next day and can usually be discharged in three days. Compared with open tension-free hernia repair, laparoscopic hernia repair has the following advantages: 1. beautiful wound, little damage, only three small holes of 0,5-1 ,Ocm poked in the abdominal wall, and light postoperative pain. 2. 2.Fast recovery after surgery, short hospitalization time, generally 3 days after surgery can be discharged. 3.The repair is complete and can timely detect bilateral occult hernia which is missed because of no seizure, and the incidence of occult hernia is 20-30%. 4.For bilateral inguinal hernia, it can be repaired at the same time without adding poking holes, and the minimally invasive effect is more obvious. 5.It is the best choice for recurrent hernia. 6.Do not destroy the normal anatomy of inguinal canal, will not damage the spermatic cord blood vessels and nerves, and avoid the occurrence of ischemic testicular inflammation. 7.Low complications, rarely causes scrotal edema and urinary retention. 8. The recurrence rate of hernia after lumpectomy hernia repair is lower than that of traditional hernia repair.
