What should I do if my intestinal hernia recurs after operation?

As parents of children with hernia, especially mothers, what precautions should be paid attention to for the baby who is about to undergo surgery? Therefore, we are here to discuss related issues. While the baby is undergoing surgery, we should avoid risks and restore health as soon as possible, so as to be foolproof.

First of all, we should contact the hospital and the doctor about the specific operation time, because "minimally invasive hernia repair" is a professional research project of Bengbu Nanshan Hospital, which receives hernia patients from all over the country. Unless there is an emergency, the operation date is usually arranged a few days to dozens of days in advance.

Because this "minimally invasive hernia repair" only takes ten minutes, the incision is less than one centimeter, and the wound does not need to be sutured, so there is no need for hospitalization, injection, infusion, dressing change and stitches removal. The medical tasks that ordinary hospitals can complete in nearly ten days can only be completed in half a day, so the requirements of opponents before and after the operation are more stringent.

Usually, before the operation, children need to be deprived of water for 4-6 hours and undergo general anesthesia operation on a completely empty stomach to prevent vomiting during the operation, causing vomit to block the airway, leading to suffocation and endangering the life safety of children. The fasting time of babies can be a little shorter, about 3 hours. Secondly, it is necessary to avoid surgery during the period of cold and fever, including the skin of the surgical site should be free of infection and allergy, to prevent postoperative incision infection.

Of course, before the operation, the child will be given routine examination and blood test to find out whether the child has coagulation dysfunction and whether there are factors affecting the healing of the child's surgical wound. Of course, if your child has other special diseases, such as congenital heart disease or hemophilia, you must inform the doctor.

For preschool children, general anesthesia is basically used. This anesthesia will not have any adverse effects on the child's brain development, but it will block the child's consciousness perception function for about 1-2 hours. With the gradual metabolism of drugs, children will return to normal. However, it must be reminded that during anesthesia, the respiratory tract of the child should be kept unobstructed and the head should be slightly tilted to one side. If you vomit, you should immediately clean up the secretions in your mouth. You can't eat or drink within one hour after you wake up from anesthesia, in case of swallowing by mistake, which will lead to respiratory obstruction. The child can only feed a few mouthfuls of water for more than an hour after waking up. If they don't vomit, they can eat a small amount of liquid and gradually transition to a normal diet.

The incision, scrotum and perineum should be compressed within 1-2 hours after operation to prevent incision and subcutaneous bleeding. Many parents care about their children, or dare not oppress them hard, which leads to postoperative wound swelling and even bleeding, and even requires surgery in severe cases. Three to five days after operation, sweating and water and urine pollution at the wound should be avoided to prevent incision inflammation, and gauze can be removed directly five days after operation. If the wound oozes blood, you can go to a nearby clinic to change the dressing. Some children may have fever after operation because they are undressed before and after operation, and even their body temperature exceeds 38℃. At this time, they should be treated as children's colds. As for the low fever of about 37℃ within 1-2 days after operation, it should belong to the absorption heat caused by the swelling of the wound, and it will subside on its own after about 1-2 days, generally without treatment. Under normal circumstances, you can go to the ground on the second or third day after surgery, but you should avoid jumping hard. Usually you can take a bath 8- 10 days after the operation.
