TLDR
Incarceration and strangulation of the commonplace indirect inguinal hernia is still a significant management problem in children and the influence of age, side involved, sex, race, delay in, and method of management in the outcome has been statistically evaluated.Abstract:
Incarceration and strangulation of the commonplace indirect inguinal hernia is still a significant management problem in children. We have studied a series of 2,764 consecutive patients operated upon for hernia at the Columbus Children's Hospital. Three hundred and fifty-one hernias or 12.7% were incarcerated or strangulated or both at the time of admission. The influence of age, side involved, sex, race, delay in, and method of management in the outcome has been statistically evaluated.read more

Inguinal hernias in very low birth weight infants: incidence and timing of repair.
TL;DR: The wide range in age at operation suggests that no single criterion can be established for ideal timing of repair, and the incidence of inguinal hernias in VLBW during the first 20 months is established.

Postoperative outcome in high-risk infants undergoing herniorrhaphy: comparison between spinal and general anaesthesia
TL;DR: The present study suggests that spinal anaesthesia can be used safely for high‐risk infants, preterm or formerly preterm, undergoing inguinal hernia repair.

Inguinal hernia after ventriculoperitoneal shunt for hydrocephalus
Jay L. Grosfeld,Donald R. Cooney +1 more
TL;DR: An increased incidence of inguinal hernia after VP shunts related to an accumulation of CSF in excess of the peritoneal absorption rate is suggested.

TL;DR: In this article, the ages at presentation of common pediatric surgical conditions using cases from large national databases were examined, including malrotation, intussusception, hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, incarcerated inguinal hernia (IH), and Hirschsprung disease.

Occurrence of contralateral inguinal hernia following unilateral repair in a pediatric hospital.
J.P. Given,S.Z. Rubin +1 more
TL;DR: A review of 904 unilateral hernia repairs was conducted at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario over the period of January 1985 to December 1987, finding that neither sex nor laterality should be considered as an indicator for contralateral exploration in children with a clinical diagnosis of unilateralHernia repair.

The patent processus vaginalis and the inguinal hernia
TL;DR: A large series of children with inguinal hernias operated upon by one group of surgeons, in a single hospital, were studied to determine the natural history of the patent processus and determine the factors that might be associated with patency of the processus.

Outpatient Herniorrhaphy for Infants
TL;DR: Gertrude Herzfeld pointed out that indirect inguinal hernias were simply congenital defects associated with a persistent patency of the processus vaginalis and advocated performance of an elective herniorrhaphy at the time of first appearance of a hernia in all otherwise healthy infants.
