Recently drove 2 h the years or summer daughter on the commission. The surgeon has told or said that at the daughter an inguinal hernia (after a palpation) and that she (hernia) small enough, but it is necessary to perform as soon as possible operation. Whether a question necessarily it is necessary to do or make operation.. He can is mistaken..? Whether and whether it is possible to define or determine there is an inguinal hernia by means of US? For earlier it is grateful for the answer.

Dear Vitaly. Calm down. Even if the hernia also is, promptness in operation any is not present. In general, it is considered, that till 5 years, the hernia can independently disappear. In any case, the indication to the IMMEDIATE SURGERY is the strangulation of a hernia. And without infringement it is possible to wait as much as longly, the truth and risk of infringement will be saved.
In occasion of mistakes or errors - everyone can be mistaken, but for the skilled or experienced surgeon the diagnosis of a hernia of the big problem does not make. From US will not be worse, if there are doubts - make.
