Wat te doen bij een hernia op jonge leeftijd?

Wanneer een hernia zich al op jonge leeftijd voordoet, is ons advies om bij voorkeur zo lang mogelijk conservatief te behandelen.

Er is geen absolute leeftijdsgrens maar bij jonge kinderen en pubers zijn we zeer behoudend met opereren. Dit omdat de kans op een terugkerende hernia (recidief( bij jonge mensen groot is. Alleen wanneer er langdurig ernstige klachten zijn die bijvoorbeeld het volgen van een schoolopleiding niet mogelijk maken, wordt soms tot een operatieve behandeling van de hernia besloten.
