What is Inguinal Hernia in Childs?
Approximately 3-5% of healthy babies are born with inguinal hernia. However, the risk of hernia increases for premature babies by 30%. It may also develop after the baby is born. Typically, the inguinal canal that passes the testicles down into the scrotum closes during the pregnancy. However, if the canal fails to close properly, a part of the intestine may bulge out into the canal due to patent passage. This bulge in the groin area or scrotum is referred to as a hernia. Unfortunately, the only promised treatment for the condition is surgery.
The inguinal canal usually closes by 35th week on left side and 37th week on right side. So, hernia is more common on right side. If child presents with left sided hernia, especially in premature babies, there is a high probability of hidden right sided hernia. Laparoscopy has an advantage over open surgery as both the sides can be detected and treated simultaneously.
