Patient's question:
My colleague's baby is two months old. Recently, when the baby cries, there is a lump that protrudes at the point where the abdomen meets the thigh, but it disappears when the baby is not crying. In which season is it best to treat pediatric hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hernia in children is better performed in spring and autumn. If the hernia exists, for children over one year old, surgical treatment is recommended. Currently, surgical methods include traditional open surgery and laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery. Laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery has less trauma and faster recovery. Hernia refers to a condition where an organ or tissue in the human body leaves its normal anatomical position and enters another part through congenital or acquired weak points, defects, or openings.
