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 the hospital in our provincial capital. Can a child of this age 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 these weak areas, presenting a series of clinical 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 undergo surgery in a timely manner once diagnosed. The above-mentioned age group is suitable for surgery, and hospitals at or above the county level can perform the procedure.
