Ankita MehtaMom of a 9 yr 1 m old girl2 years agoA. hi
mam ,it is one of the most common types of surgery done on kids
surgery is needed so that an inguinal hernia doesn't get stuck and cause damage to the intestine.
During surgery ,the child gets anesthesia to not feel pain.
the surgeon makes small incision in the skin.
in boys , they will move the herinia away from the spermatic cord , which carries the blood supply for the testicle and the pathway for sperm.
Then, the surgeon puts the part of the intestines that are inside the herinia back where it belongs.
the surgeon closes the opening to help prevent another herinia.
