Child: Push the protruding intestine backward, and then tie the abnormal opening at the opening of abdominal hernia. This operation is called high ligation.
Matters needing attention after operation
A. After the operation, you can drink a small amount of boiled water after anesthesia. If you don't vomit, you can start eating. If you have vomiting, you need to stop eating for four hours.
B. To prevent anesthesia complications, please take a deep breath, cough and turn over frequently. If there is phlegm, please cough it out, but remember to put your hand on the wound when coughing, so as to avoid the increase of abdominal pressure or involving the wound, which can alleviate discomfort.
C after the operation, the wound should be kept clean and dry to avoid infection. If the gauze is wet, please tell the medical staff to change it for you. Most of the thread used to sew the wound can be absorbed by itself, so it is not necessary to remove it. However, due to the different surgical methods, it is still necessary to ask the doctor whether stitches are needed.
D. After the operation, the wound will feel tight and painful. This phenomenon may last for 1-2 weeks, which is normal. The doctor will prescribe painkillers to relieve the pain of the wound.
E. If you can't urinate or haven't urinated for more than 6~8 hours, you need to inform the nursing staff at this time, because bladder dilatation will involve the wound and cause pain.
F. After the operation, you should lie flat on the bed. If you want to sit in a semi-horizontal position, you should bend your knees to avoid increasing abdominal pressure. Usually you can get out of bed on the day of surgery, but you should avoid squatting to avoid involving the wound. If the wound or scrotum is swollen, you need to stay in bed until the swelling disappears.
Daily precautions
A Please keep the wound clean and dry after discharge, and remember to go back to the hospital for a follow-up visit according to the doctor's instructions.
B. If you find that the wound is red, swollen, hot and painful, and there are secretions flowing out after discharge, odor or bleeding, please come back for treatment as soon as possible.
C develop a regular life and eat more high-fiber foods (such as whole wheat bread, noodles, cereals, brown rice, potatoes, beans, fresh fruits and vegetables, etc.). ) and drink plenty of water to prevent constipation and increase abdominal pressure during defecation, thus causing hernia recurrence.
D avoid defecation, sit-ups, climbing stairs, riding bicycles or motorcycles within one month after operation.
E. Avoid strenuous exercise, strenuous work or lifting heavy objects within three months after operation.
F. If you have to urinate forcibly, please go to the urology clinic to prevent hernia recurrence due to increased abdominal pressure.
G. If it is a chronic cough, you should see a physician to prevent recurrence of hernia.
H. If the male patient has secondary hernia or abnormal scrotal enlargement after discharge, please come back as soon as possible.
