Patient's question:
The child was carefully examined in the hospital and diagnosed with pediatric hernia. Due to being too young, only a few months old, some time is needed. The child's hernia is quite severe, and it tends to drop down whenever the leg moves. Hello, is laparoscopic minimally invasive treatment suitable for pediatric hernia? What are the disadvantages of laparoscopic hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Because the patient is young, surgery must generally be performed at least 6 months after birth. The main treatment is to decide on general anesthesia, with laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery as the foundation. The main difficulty lies in anesthesia, and it is easy to experience anesthetic accidents. Under normal circumstances, there is also a possibility of recurrence after surgery. Postoperative care must be well-prepared to prevent prolonged excessive crying, as well as various increases in intra-abdominal pressure, which may lead to recurrence.
