Is pediatric inguinal hernia surgery prone to recurrence?

Patient's question:

My little baby has always had poor health. A few years ago, he suffered from a hernia and underwent surgery as recommended by the doctor. This year, he experienced a similar condition again. Could it be related to the recurrence of the hernia?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to answer your question for you: Generally speaking, it's not that easy to recur, and compared to traditional surgical methods, minimally invasive surgery has more significant advantages. The incision is very small, the amount of bleeding is also less, and the surgery basically does not require hospitalization. After the surgery, it's important to pay attention to the changes in the child's condition in daily life. If any discomfort is noticed, seek medical attention promptly. Moreover, hernia is generally very difficult to treat.
