Preschool children from 6 months to 6 years old have the best effect in treating hernia in children. From the effect point of view, the child's development is fast, the body recovers quickly after preschool surgery, the local tissue is rich, and the possibility of hernia recurrence is slim. In the past, the age of surgery was limited to less than one year, but after the hernia minimally invasive technique, as long as the child is more than six months old, there is no respiratory infection, and the stool is unobstructed, that is, the abdominal pressure is not increased before surgery, the operation can be performed. And it will not be affected by the seasonal climate.
In the treatment of hernia in children, the traditional operation is to cut a 3 cm incision in the groin and then ligate the inner ring at a high position. This not only caused a lot of bleeding in the wound, but also required hospitalization for 7- 10 days after operation and was unable to move for 3 months, which added a lot of trouble to children and parents, and the recurrence rate after traditional operation was high. With the continuous progress of medical diagnosis technology, according to the characteristics of hernia surgery in children, minimally invasive outpatient surgery was widely used at first, and only a 0.5- 1 cm micro-incision was needed in the abdominal wall of children. Because the incision is small, infection and recurrence are not easy. In addition, the operation time is very short, only about 10 minutes. It only needs to be done in the clinic, and you can go home after the operation that day. For busy parents, it saves a lot of time and energy. Moreover, this painless and aseptic minimally invasive surgery has little postoperative pain for children, and children can go home freely after surgery, without bed rest and eating without taboos. Under normal circumstances, children do not need injections to reduce inflammation after surgery. For parents, it is of course a good thing for their children to have surgery. They don't need injections, hospitalization, leave to accompany them, worry less and spend less money.
