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

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.
