“…Consistent with our results, Vogels et al [12] concluded from a series of 2,471 primary herniotomies for boys that low gestational age and specific comorbidities may be associated with a higher likelihood of recurrence. Based on our experience with recurrence after laparoscopic hernia repair in children, the medial aspect of the internal inguinal ring is most crucial.…”

“…The results of the traditional open herniotomy, at least for children of low body weight, are characterized by significantly high rates for recurrence, testicular hypotrophy, and atrophy or high testis that requires subsequent orchiopexy. Although the recurrence rate for laparoscopic inguinal hernia cases seems to remain elevated for older children [2,5,[10][11][12][13][14], our results for babies weighing 5 kg or less suggest a lower recurrence rate than that reported by Nagraj et al [1] for open herniotomy (2.0% vs 2.7%) in a comparable group of patients.…”

Introduction and aim Inguinal hernia is one of the most common pediatric diseases in children and it presents most commonly during the first year of life. The aim of this study was to determine epidemiologic indexes and complications of inguinal hernia repair in pediatric patients who underwent inguinal hernia surgery.Patients and methods This retrospective study was carried out in the Imam Khomeini and the Abuzar hospitals. All inpatients who underwent surgery for inguinal hernia from 2003 to 2004 were included in this study. Their hospital records were reviewed till 2007 for age, sex, wound infection, recurrence, and other complications. The v 2 -test was used for analysis using SPSS, version 13.0.Results In this study, 269 children were included. Of all the patients, 237 (88.1%) were boys and 32 (11.9%) were girls (P < 0.001). The median age at the first reference to the surgeon was 2.93 years. Right-side and left-side inguinal hernia was observed in 136 (50.55%) and 92 (34.20%) cases, respectively. Bilateral inguinal hernia was observed in 41 (15.25%) cases. The frequency of recurrence was 2.2%, and was observed only in boys. Postoperative complications were observed in 5.2% of the cases. The most common of them was anesthetic complication.Conclusion Most of the cases involved male patients. All of the recurrences were in male patients. Postoperative complications were observed in 5.

“…It was considered that large size of the hernia, premature state of the infant, history of incarceration and postoperative complications were associated with increased recurrence of hernia [8][9][10][11][12][13]. Extraperitoneal internal ring closures seemed to have a lower recurrence rate [5].…”
