What is a hernia?

Inguinal hernia will have a small lump when it first appears, and there is generally no special discomfort. Therefore, people often ignore the huge potential harm of inguinal hernia. With the development of the disease, the mass gradually increases, causing pain, thus affecting the daily life of patients. Never underestimate hernia, treat it as soon as possible.

At present, there are only two methods to treat hernia. One is surgical treatment, and the other is non-surgical treatment, that is, hernia band treatment.

Different types of inguinal hernia need different surgical methods, including traditional hernia repair, tension-free hernia repair and laparoscopic hernia repair.

Traditional hernia repair: it is to repair the defect around peritoneum by forced traction suture.

Disadvantages: large repair tension; The tendon and inguinal ligament need to be sutured during the operation, which is easy to cause muscle cutting and tearing, and the postoperative healing effect is poor; Pain, infection, recurrence, etc. ;

Tension-free hernia repair: hernia patch is used to repair under normal tension.

Advantages: mild postoperative pain, quick recovery and low recurrence rate.

Laparoscopic hernia repair is a minimally invasive operation. The surgical channel was established by abdominal puncture and tension-free repair was performed under laparoscopy.

Advantages: less intraoperative injury, accurate repair, less bleeding and rapid postoperative recovery.

The choice of anesthesia mode is mainly related to the operation mode.

Local anesthesia is used in open surgery, which has little influence on the cardiopulmonary function of the elderly and few surgical contraindications.

Applicable people: for the elderly with many complications, the operation safety is high.

Laparoscopic surgery requires general anesthesia.

Applicable people: patients with good physical condition and no abnormal cardiopulmonary function.
