... time ranged from18-30 min with a mean value 23.7±3.44 min in group A and ranged from 13-28 min with a mean value 20.6±3.8 min in group B. Operative time was significantly higher in group A than group B (p<0.001) ( Table 1). Post-operative complications, minimal scrotal edema occurred in 7 (14%) in group A and in 8 (16%) in group B, Surgical wound site infection occurred in 2 (4%) in group A and in one patient (2%) in group B and minimal labial edema occurred in 0 (0%) in group A and in one patient (2%) in group B. The comparison between both groups showed an insignificant difference between both groups (p=0.509) ( Table 2). ...Similar publications

... We should note that 99% of inguinal hernias in childhood are indirect hernias and their treatment is surgery [9]. It has been reported that Mitchell-Banks herniotomy and modi ed Ferguson methods can be safely used in patients younger than two years of age [10]. In addition, it has been reported that Mitchell-Banks herniotomy reduces the recurrence rate in patients older than two years of age [11]. ...
Purpose: In this study, we aimed to give an overview of inguinal hernia in children, recognize the experiences of our clinic and compare them with the literature.
Methods: A total of 1185 patients who underwent inguinal hernia repair between August 2016 and February 2022 were included in this study. Patients' age, gender, inguinal hernia type, hernia side, incarceration, contralateral hernia formation, recurrence and other related complications were evaluated.
Results: Of the patients, 71% were male, and 29% were female (2.44:1). Patients’ ages ranged from five days to 17 years (mean 51 ± 42 months). Hernia was on the right side in 58.6% patients, on the left side in 30.3% patients, and bilateral in 11.1% patients. Contralateral hernia developed in 2.6% of the patients and there was no difference between gender regarding incidence (p>0.05). Postoperative complications developed in 5.2% of the patients. All eight patients who developed hernia recurrence were male. The proportion of patients who were operated on for incarcerated hernia was 1.7%.
Conclusion: There was no difference between the genders regarding the percentage of sides (p>0.05). The rate of recurrent hernia was higher under the age of one. We found that the rate of incarceration increased with low gestational age. We conclude that routine contralateral inguinal exploration is not indicated. The complication rate is higher in patients with multiple comorbidities in hernia patients.
