Patient's question:
My baby had stomach pain again recently. I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination, and they recommended minimally invasive surgery for treatment. Is the success rate high for minimally invasive hernia repair?Doctor's answer:
Hernia in children is a relatively common phenomenon. Avoid letting the child catch a cold, and try not to let the child cry. Pay attention to keeping the child's abdomen warm. After surgery, rest is important, and avoid strenuous exercise. The diet should be based on lightness, avoiding overly greasy foods, but pay attention to a balanced nutrition. The causes of hernia are related to two factors: weakened abdominal wall strength and high intra-abdominal pressure. Weakened abdominal wall strength can be divided into congenital and acquired. Congenital deficiencies include undescended processus vaginalis, incomplete umbilical ring closure, abdominal white line scars, or wide inguinal triangular defects. Acquired causes include surgical incisions, trauma, inflammation, and infections. Minimally invasive surgery can be performed.
