Hello sir, kindly understand that there is no other option to treat a hernia (anywhere) without surgery. But as you are an octagerian, it is probably better to leavee the hernia where it is if the mouth of hernia is wide enough to prevent any compromised blood supply to the content of abdomen. If it a small mouth, it will be better to close the defect under adequate precautions with a quick procedure. Else it might cause a serious emergrency some day where you will land up in enviable midline laparotomy thanks.
