Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to ask about professional pediatric hernia hospitals. Which ones are more professional? My child is eight years old today and has been diagnosed with hernia. The doctor in our local area recommended that we have surgery. Now, I would like to consult with the hospital in our provincial capital. Is it possible for a child of this age to have surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is the most common surgical disease, mainly caused by congenital developmental abnormalities or weakness. The abdominal contents protrude through this weakness, presenting a series of clinical diagnostic symptoms. If not treated promptly, it may lead to strangulation, resulting in serious complications such as intestinal obstruction and intestinal necrosis. Therefore, it is necessary to have timely surgery after confirmation. The above age group is suitable for surgery, and hospitals at the county level and above can perform the procedure.
