Introduction
Traditional hernia surgery involves suturing the defective hernial ring to achieve treatment. This procedure requires a certain level of expertise, and it is recommended to perform it under the guidance of a qualified physician if necessary. After surgery, ensure adequate rest, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy or irritating foods to prevent interference with recovery.
Generally, traditional hernia surgery involves suturing the defective hernial ring to achieve therapeutic purposes. The specific procedural steps are as follows:
1. Position the patient in a supine position, administer general anesthesia, and perform sterilization.
2. Make a 2 cm incision at the site of the hernia and sequentially incise the skin and subcutaneous tissue.
3. Open the external oblique aponeurosis, dissect the hernial sac from surrounding tissues at the internal ring of the femoral hernia, and reduce the hernial sac back into the abdominal cavity.
4. Use a mesh prosthesis to repair the abdominal wall defect, ensuring the mesh is securely fixed to prevent displacement.
5. Control bleeding from the surgical site, then suture the external oblique aponeurosis, subcutaneous tissue, and skin layer by layer to complete the procedure.
This surgery requires a certain level of expertise. If required, it is recommended to perform the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician. After surgery, ensure adequate rest, maintain healthy lifestyle habits, and avoid spicy or irritating foods that may impair recovery.
