Hernia is not only the patent of infants and young men, but also the patent of middle-aged and elderly people. Asymptomatic neglect, severe pain and intestinal necrosis.
Even though I found a lump in the right groin a few years ago, I was worried that the old man was old and had no special symptoms, so I didn't pay attention to it until I went to the hospital for a severe groin pain last month. After operation, it was found that the intestinal tube had died nearly 50 cm, and the necrotic intestinal tube was pulled out in time to repair the hernia focus.
Guo Zhiwei, the attending physician of general surgery in Zhongxing Hospital of Beijing Normal University Hospital, said that hernia is not only a patent for infants and young men, but also for middle-aged and elderly people. Most of them are due to old age, chronic cough, constipation or years of heavy work, which leads to the degeneration of inguinal muscles and the formation of large pores to form hernia sac, thus causing inguinal hernia.
Dr. Guo Zhiwei pointed out that if the intestinal tube in abdominal cavity falls into the sac, there is a risk that the intestinal tube will get stuck and die. It is suggested that early treatment is still needed to avoid complications such as intestinal necrosis. The traditional operation is to open a wound repair tunnel of about 5 ~ 10 cm in the groin. In recent years, minimally invasive surgery has made progress, and endoscopic surgery can also be used.
A New Weapon for Hernia Endoscopic Surgery
Dr. Guo Zhiwei said that the advantage of endoscopic hernia repair is that there are only three small wounds of 0.5 ~ 1 cm, and there is no risk of intestinal adhesion without moving the knife into the abdominal cavity. You can move freely and work without load for one week after the operation.
At present, Zhongxing Hospital has successfully implemented more than 300 cases of endoscopic hernia repair, and the technology has been further improved. Only a small incision of about 1.5 cm is needed for single-hole endoscopic hernia repair, which further shortens the postoperative recovery period and wound appearance.
