When ‘hernia’ is mentioned, many people think that it is a disease that children get. In fact as our standard of living improves, so does the quality of existence. Elderly people are becoming more and more, the body tissue and natural things, with the passage of time, it is also gradually decline, the abdominal wall tissue began to weaken, especially in the inguinal area, and the inguinal area is the abdominal wall to withstand the abdominal pressure of the largest area. When there are factors that cause increased abdominal pressure such as chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma and other lung disorders as well as difficulty in urination and constipation, this is when a ‘hernia’ will appear. There will also be some discomfort or bloating abdominal pain and other symptoms, most of the symptoms are easily ignored without treatment, and some fear of surgery and recurrence has been conservative treatment. So much so that some patients abdominal intestinal tube protruding into the hernia sac more and more, and even incarcerated, intestinal necrosis, toxemia and life-threatening. Yu Yongtao, Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University, with the rapid development of science and technology, the new concept of abdominal wall hernia surgery to the patient has also brought a great gospel, from the previous special attention to the recurrence rate of hernia, to the current focus on the patient’s postoperative comfort, is a qualitative leap. Let me make an analogy of the evolution of surgery from the past to the present; our abdominal wall is like a flood control dam. There are two factors that can cause a dam to break: excessive pressure on the dam from floodwaters, and weakness in one area of the dam. First we reinforced the outside of the dam with soil from around the dam, then we pulled soil from elsewhere to reinforce the outside of the dam, and now we use large sandbags made to reinforce the inside and outside of the dam. So now we are no more concerned about the very low recurrence rate of hernias than we are about the patient’s postoperative comfort (with the exception of course of huge incisional hernias in the abdominal wall).
