Question
The child has recently been unwilling to eat and often feels bloated. When touching the abdomen, it feels somewhat firm. The doctor diagnosed it as a left-sided diaphragmatic hernia. How should a thoracoabdominal hernia be treated?
Answer
The treatment for a thoracoabdominal hernia depends on the severity of the condition and the child’s overall health status. Typically, surgical treatment is adopted, and the outcome is generally good. However, whether the treatment will achieve satisfactory results also depends on the timing, method, and specific circumstances of the surgery. It is recommended to seek treatment from a professional hospital as soon as possible to avoid any potential risks.
