Clinical study of small incision operation and traditional operation in treatment of infantile hernia

Objective To analyze the clinical effect of small incision operation and traditional operation in treatment of pediatric hernia, and to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of pediatric hernia. Methods 68 children with pediatric hernia were treated as the research subjects, they were randomly divided into control group and observation group, 34 children in each group.The control group adopted the traditional operation treatment, while the observation group was taken small incision.The clinical efficacy and complications of both two groups were compared. Results The operation time, bleeding volume, hospitalization time and incision length of the observation group were (10.45±1.35)min, (5.21±0.78)mL, (1.98±0.76)d, and (1.04±0.23)cm, which were better than those of the control group [(15.67±3.24)min, (8.56±1.87)mL, (3.78±1.12)d, and (2.54±0.65)cm, respectively], the differences were significant (t=5.760 0, 5.747 7, 4.171 7, 7.986 8, all P<0.05). The incidence rate of complications of the observation group was 2.94%, which was significantly lower than that of the control group (11.76%), the difference was significant (χ2=5.7118, P<0.05). Conclusion The clinical curative effect of using small incision in the treatment of pediatric hernia is significant, this method has the advantages of small operation wound, less pain, faster postoperative recovery, less complications and other advantages, it is worthy of clinical application.
