Current concepts in inguinal hernia in infants and children.

Abstract:

:Trends are changing in the management of infants and children with indirect inguinal hernias. Advances in neonatal intensive care have resulted in the survival of many small premature infants who have a high incidence of inguinal hernia. The rate of incarceration, strangulation, and gonadal infarction in these babies is twice that of the general pediatric age group. Respiratory immaturity, apnea, bradycardia, and associated neonatal conditions require special management at the time of hernia repair, usually performed just before discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit. New information concerning volume loss and depletion of germ cells beginning at 6 months of age in boys with undescended testes has stimulated the performance of orchiopexy when the patient is 1 year of age. More than 90% of boys with cryptorchid testes at the age of 1 year have an associated hernia that requires concomitant repair at the time of orchiopexy. The use of the peritoneal cavity for fluid absorptive purposes in hydrocephalus treated by venticuloperitoneal shunts or of peritoneal dialysis for renal failure and metabolic diseases such as hyperammonemia and lactic acidosis causes increased intraabdominal pressure and results in the appearance of a previously unrecognized hernia. Recognition of these and other conditions associated with a high incidence of hernial occurrence should allow early diagnosis and treatment before the development of complications. Most elective repairs of hernias are safely performed in the outpatient setting; however, some infants and children with concurrent illnesses are best managed in a "morning admissions" program, in which hospital admission occurs postoperatively.
