Inguinal hernia repair in infants is a routine surgical procedure. However, numerous issues, including timing of the repair, the need to explore the contralateral groin, use of laparoscopy, and anesthetic approach, remain unsettled. Given the lack of compelling data, consideration should be given to large, prospective, randomized controlled trials to determine best practices for the management of inguinal hernias in infants.

“…Right-sided hernias are more common (ratios of right, left, and bilateral hernia are approximately 59%, 29%, and 12%, respectively). 4 Boys are affected around 10 times more often than girls 2 ; 99% of inguinal hernias in children are of the indirect type. 4 Hydrocoele is an abnormal collection of fluid along the processus vaginalis, and can be communicating or non-communicating.…”

Background: In patients with incarcerated inguinal hernia, initial manual reduction, which is not always feasible, rather than immediate surgery, is associated with fewer complications. The aim of the study was to evaluate factors associated with successful manual reduction of incarcerated inguinal hernia in children. Methods: A prospective cohort study between January 2010 and December 2014 of children admitted with incarcerated inguinal hernia to a single surgical unit. Results: A total of 34 patients with a median age of 4.2 months (range: 2 weeks to 14 years) were recruited. Manual reduction was attempted in 23 (67.6%) patients and successful in 13 (56.5%). A total of 9 (26.5%) patients had bowel strangulation. Shorter incarceration (median of 18.2 vs. 48.4 hours, p = 0.004) and longer duration of previous swelling (median of 20 vs. 3.5 weeks, p = 0.029) were associated with successful manual reduction. Bowel strangulation rate was higher amongst patients excluded from manual reduction, using the set criteria, compared to those who had failed reduction (77.8% vs. 22.2%, p = 0.044). Conclusions: Manual reduction is more likely to be successful in patients who present early after incarceration as well as those with wider internal rings.
