What is Inguinal Hernias in Pediatric Patients about?

Indirect inguinal hernias are the most common type of incarcerated hernia in children. Incarcerated inguinal hernias can often be reduced non-operatively but require timely hernia repair to prevent recurrence. Laparoscopic repair is considered a safe alternative to open repair for incarcerated hernias. Premature and low birth weight infants have the highest risk of incarceration but also risks from anesthesia, so the timing of hernia repair in these infants needs to be determined on a case-by-case basis.
