Non operative treatment: for elderly or frail patients at risk of surgery, the doctor will give hernia braces, which can temporarily prevent bowel prolapse. Hernia braces are used after the doctor pushes back the intestines; It is a cushion made of tough material, which will be fixed on the hernia site with bandage, which can further prevent the abdominal organs from prolapsing from the hernia sac.

Hemianesthesia is used in most hernia operations, and general anesthesia is only needed for more complex hernia operations. As for children, they are under general anesthesia, and they sleep soundly during the operation.
