More and more children are experiencing hernias nowadays. Most children are able to recover on their own, but some children still cannot recover normally. The child cannot recover normally and needs to be treated with surgery. So how is the best surgery for pediatric hernia?
If the child is over two years old and the hernia has not recovered, surgical treatment is necessary. The principle of surgery is very simple, which is to make a small incision under the child's hernia. Cut open the child's hernia sac, locate the location of the hernia sac, and then remove it. After the excision, the skin is sutured and the entire surgical process is completed.
After undergoing hernia surgery, parents should take good care of their children. Children are young and may accidentally touch wounds. Therefore, parents should always keep an eye on their children and not let their hands touch the wound. Parents should watch their children while they are urinating. It is best not to let urine and feces dirty the gauze, so as not to affect wound recovery and cause wound infection.
After hernia surgery, there may be some swelling on the child's scrotum. But parents don't have to worry too much, the swelling will subside within about three days. Three days later, the child's scrotum will still be swollen and needs to be examined by a doctor. The doctor said there's no big problem, so the parents don't have to worry anymore.
