Excuse me, is it minimally invasive or does it need surgery for children's hernia in Capital Pediatric Research Institute and Beijing Children's Hospital?

Hello! Hernia in children is very common. If it does not happen frequently, it is best to treat it conservatively. After the age of 3, some children's condition gradually stabilized, no longer attack, which can avoid the pain of surgery. If the hernia sac is often getting bigger and bigger, it is best to operate to avoid incarceration and serious consequences.

Hernia in children mainly refers to indirect inguinal hernia, mainly with high ligation. Traditional open surgery and minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery are both effective methods to treat hernia in children. Generally speaking, the treatment effect is the same.

Minimally invasive surgery has the advantages of simple operation, short time, less trauma, less bleeding and quick recovery. At present, open surgery mostly adopts small transverse abdominal incision, which has the advantages of small trauma, quick recovery and small scar. The specific choice of surgical methods depends on the condition.
