Inguinal hernia in neonates and ex-preterm: complications, timing and need for routine contralateral exploration

et al. 2014

The results of our series demonstrated that, though technically demanding, herniotomy in the neonate and ex-preterm is associated with a relatively low incidence of complications. Based on our results and in accordance with literature data, we do not advocate routine contralateral exploration in case of unilateral hernia but surgery to be performed only on the symptomatic side, as soon as possible after initial diagnosis. Very low birth weight patients should be followed with care in the early postoperative period due to the higher likelihood of developing a metachronous hernia.

“…A debate exists on exploration of the contralateral processus vaginalis during surgery to diagnose and treat asymptomatic contralateral hernia. The incidence of bilateral patent processus vaginalis has been described in literature between 5 and 12% (Manoharan et al, 2005;Miltenburg et al, 1997;Tackett et al, 1999). In open surgery routine contralateral exploration is not recommended, because exploration increases the risk of testicular atrophy and infertility after cord injury.…”
