Patient's question:
The child is two and a half years old. It has been three or four months since the discovery of the hernia. Recently, the child has been crying and fussing a lot. So, I would like to ask the experts whether the surgery should be conventional or minimally invasive.Doctor's answer:
According to the description of treatment methods for inguinal hernia. It is recommended to choose minimally invasive surgery with less trauma and better efficacy. The earlier the treatment, the better. Postoperative avoidance of antibiotics and infection is necessary. The treatment method must address these two aspects. For the issue of the channel, we can consider repair treatment. For smaller hernias, we can perform minimally invasive surgery directly. But for relatively larger ones, we must consider repair. Moreover, the scope of the repair needs to be relatively larger. Surgical incision treatment is more convenient.
