The child's hernia needs to undergo how many surgeries?

Patient's question:

Children with inguinal hernia often require multiple surgeries. They have already had one surgery, but sometimes it still falls down. Is there a need for another surgery? Why didn't the first surgery work well?

Doctor's answer:

First, I'd like to ask a few questions: When was this surgery scheduled, and did it occur at the original site or on the other side?
Advice: If it dropped back into the original gap, there could be several reasons:
1. Other factors leading to increased intra-abdominal pressure.
2. The child was too young during surgery, and as they grow older, the gap at the surgical site may shrink. If it dropped on the other side, that would be a different case.
The above is my advice regarding the question, "Why does a child with inguinal hernia need multiple surgeries?" I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
