Inguinal hernia in children is a congenital disease that does not heal on its own and requires early consultation and surgery to avoid dangerous complications. Previously, inguinal hernia was often treated by open surgery (open surgery). Currently, Vinmec International General Hospital is a pioneer in applying laparoscopic inguinal hernia treatment techniques, helping children avoid two dangerous complications: blockage of the vas deferens or testicular atrophy, which are complications that can occur during open surgery.

Inguinal hernia is a common disease in all ages, in which the rate of disease in children is from 2-5%. Inguinal hernia causes a lot of inconvenience to the patient and in some cases, if not treated promptly, it can lead to complications such as intestinal obstruction and infection, which are very dangerous.

Children with inguinal hernias were previously treated by open surgery (open surgery), however this method has the potential for dangerous complications such as blockage of the vas deferens or testicular atrophy. To overcome this, Vinmec International General Hospital has introduced laparoscopic surgery to treat inguinal hernias in children - a method considered the most advanced currently in treating this pathology in children.
