Long-term outcomes of pediatric laparoscopic needled-assisted inguinal hernia repair: A 10-year experience
2021, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :One important finding in this study was that the preterm population repaired before 60 weeks PCA had a lower recurrence rate compared to term patients and premature babies repaired later. This is particularly impactful as there has been controversy about the safety and timing of hernia repair, especially open repair in the preterm population [17–19]. Several studies report increased instances of incarceration with delayed open repair in premature infants and try to find the balance of increased risk of injury and reoperation in early open repair with the increased risk of incarceration with delayed repair in premature infants [20,21].

2008, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :There were no significant alterations in the relation testicular weight per 100 g of body weight in the postpubertal phase. The formula that we used was previously used for sonographic evaluation of testicular atrophy [26]. There was significant decrease in testicular volume for groups B and C in the prepubertal period.
