Patient's question:
Doctor, my daughter has infantile hernia. I don't know what your opinion is on this disease. What is the best treatment for infantile hernia?Doctor's answer:
For children under the age of two, once a hernia is detected, there are no other effective solutions except to schedule surgery at some point. A hernia is a localized weakness in the abdominal wall, and it is impossible to close this scarred opening through medication or other methods. The only way to treat it is through surgery. Since the child is young, a simple high-ligation procedure can be performed without the need for further repair. As long as it does not recur as an incarcerated hernia, it is not an emergency surgery and can be scheduled at a convenient time.
