A critical review of premature infants with inguinal hernias: optimal timing of repair, incarceration risk, and postoperative apnea

Risk of Incarceration of Inguinal Hernias among Paediatric Patients awaiting elective surgery at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia

“…Our findings are in contrast with Sulkowski [25] and Lee [26] who reported no incarcerations in their studies. Fourthly, the rate and risk for inguinal incarceration was found to be age dependent.…”

Low Detection Rate of Possible Anesthesia-Related Complications After Pediatric Inguinal Hernia Repair Challenges Current Postoperative Monitoring Protocols

“…The overall detection rate of potential anesthesia-related events after IHR was relatively low (3.3%, n = 10) in our population, which is in line with the more recent literature, where incidences are reported between 0% and 7% [16,23,24,26,28,29]. Historically, rates for postoperative respiratory complications, such as apnea, a need for postoperative assisted ventilation or even reintubation, have been reported to be as high as 43% in premature infants [12,13,[19][20][21].…”

Clinical and Therapeutic Aspects of Inguinal Hernia in Children in the General Surgery Department of Reference Health Center in Commune I of Bamako Mali

“…This was the main complication. There is no significant difference between our rate (5%) and those reported by Lee [22], p = 0.195 in the USA and Timmers [23], p = 0.098 in the Netherlands; unlike the Canadian series where p < 0.05. In children, the treatment of inguinal hernia consists of resection and ligation of the sac [4] [7] [24].…”
