Is hernia surgery for children scary

Hernias are most likely to occur in children and the elderly, and surgery is a common method of treatment of hernia, so how dangerous is the pediatric treatment with surgery, which is a lot of people's concern about hernia surgery, the following together with a brief understanding.

How dangerous is pediatric hernia surgery? Many people are afraid of general anesthesia, afraid of not waking up. Some parents are not worried about their child's surgery, but they are nervous at the thought of general anesthesia. The reason for not waking up after anesthesia may be stroke, myocardial infarction, allergy to anesthesia drugs, etc., but the possibility of these dangers is actually very small. Unless one has cerebrovascular or cardiovascular disease, there is little chance of stroke or myocardial infarction occurring during surgery in the general population, and the chances of children in this regard are even smaller.

If one does suffer from these diseases, the anesthesiologist will take special care to minimize the risk. In fact, the risk of anesthesia is not only during anesthesia, but there is still the crisis of complication of rosacea after you are awake from anesthesia. For adults, if they have their own problems such as asthma, emphysema, smoking, etc., there is a risk of complications such as incomplete lung expansion and pneumonia after anesthesia. Children have fewer problems after anesthesia, but respiratory arrest may occur after anesthesia if they are underweight and premature. The danger of the surgery itself comes from the direct damage to the body from the surgery, as it is an invasive procedure that can be destructive to body tissues.

Similarly, after the surgery is completed, there are still dangers such as bleeding and infection during the recovery period.
