In recent times, the editor has found that the number of newborns suffering from hernia in the hospital has gradually increased. Then the editor specifically learned about the problem of hernia in children, especially the treatment methods for children. Medical experts believe that the best way to treat children's hernia is through surgery. So when is the best time to have surgery for children's hernia? Generally speaking, for children who are not incarcerated, inguinal oblique hernias can often move in and out freely, have no symptoms, and the hernia can be restored by lying flat appropriately. If the child experiences obvious pain, cries violently, the inguinal mass becomes hard, or in severe cases even experiences nausea and vomiting, the possibility of incarceration should be considered. At this time, you can first comfort the child, let him lie flat, and raise his hips. If the child can calm down or even fall asleep, the hernia may still recover on its own. Since incarcerated hernia may cause intestinal necrosis, if the above symptoms cannot be relieved within two hours, parents should take the child to a children's specialist hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. Many parents ask, since adult hernias can be repaired with minimally invasive surgery, they wonder whether minimally invasive surgery can also be an option for pediatric inguinal hernias. In fact, the application of minimally invasive surgery in pediatric hernia surgery needs to be viewed dialectically. The trauma of pediatric indirect hernia surgery is not large. The wound is generally about 1 to 2 cm and is located on the inner side of the groin. This area is covered with body hair in adults. Therefore, as far as pediatric indirect hernia is concerned, the advantages of minimally invasive surgery are not obvious. For children with unilateral indirect hernia, since there is a possibility of indirect hernia on the opposite side, minimally invasive surgery can explore the condition of the "processus vaginalis" on the opposite side after the operation on one side is completed. If it is found that it is not closed, the suture operation can be completed at the same time, so it also has certain application value. So the editor tells you that when treating children's hernia problems, different treatment methods should be chosen according to the different conditions of the child. If the child's hernia is not serious, it is actually possible to heal itself. However, you should first look at the specific symptoms of the child's hernia and then decide how to treat it. |
