What is the best way to treat hernia in children?

Hernia problems in children usually occur more frequently during infancy and are usually more common in boys. When a child has hernia problems, it is not only necessary to understand the specific causes of the disease, but also to know what methods should be used to completely cure the problem. Today we will learn about how to treat hernia in children.

Hernia repair: repair the hernia annulus by stripping part of the external oblique muscle. Hernia patch repair: use a patch material instead of stripping part of the external oblique muscle to repair the hernia annulus. Hernia laparoscopic repair: hernia repair or hernia patch repair is completed through laparoscopy. Hernia medical glue injection anastomosis: an anastomotic agent that is similar to and fully compatible with human tissue is injected directly into the hernia canal to close the hernia canal and hernia annulus, achieving the same effect as stripping part of the external oblique muscle to repair the hernia annulus or using a patch material to repair the hernia annulus.

Comparison of four radical surgeries: Hernia repair: There is one large incision; Hospitalization is required for about 7 days; Routine anti-infection; Intestinal adhesions are common, with scars and discomfort on rainy days; The recurrence rate is about 20%; Full recovery time is about 3 months for ordinary hernia and about 6-12 months for extra-large hernia. Hernia patch repair: There is one large incision; hospitalization is required for about 7 days; routine anti-infection; intestinal adhesions are common, with scars and discomfort on rainy days; the recurrence rate is about 1%; full recovery time is about 3 months for ordinary hernias and about 6-9 months for extra-large hernias.

Laparoscopic hernia repair; with 3 small incisions; requires hospitalization for about 4 days; routine anti-infection; mainly - 9 months. Hernia medical glue injection anastomosis: no incision; no hospitalization; no need for anti-infection; no scars, occasional small nodules; the recurrence rate is about 3%; full recovery time for ordinary hernia is about 1 month, and for extra-large hernia is about 3 months.

When treating pediatric hernia, it is also necessary to pay attention to specific care, otherwise the hernia condition will easily worsen. For example, you should eat more light food on a normal day, and you also need to pay attention to the intake of nutrients. At the same time, children are not allowed to exercise or play extensively.
