A Cross-Sectional Study to Detect the Findings of Hernial Repair Procedure in Iraqi Children

Background: One of the most prevalent conditions in children and young adults is an inguinal hernia. For full-term and preterm newborns, the estimated prevalence rates of inguinal hernia are 1-5% and 9-11%, correspondingly. Aim: This paper aims to analyse a cross-sectional study to detect the findings of hernial repair procedure in Iraqi children. Patients and methods: This paper was conducted in different hospitals in Iraq from 15th September 2021 to 17th December 2021 as a cross-sectional study to analyse cross-sectional study to detect the findings of hernia in Iraqi children. This study was contained 54 patients, which separate into two kinds of groups. Where the first group have included 27 patients who conduct open surgery, while the second group have 27 patients where present patients who did laparoscopic surgery. The databases collected were analysed and plotted by the SPSS program. Results and Discussion: In this study, we examine the results of two techniques for hernia repair in young girls and boys. The results showed that although laparoscopic surgery and open surgery had differently post-operative problems, open surgery required less time to complete an inguinal hernia repair in patients than laparoscopic surgery did. Conclusion: The results of our investigation generally showed that, despite the near proximity of the two repair procedures' preoperative and postoperative complications. However, herniotomy opening surgery took somewhat less time to complete than laparoscopic surgery when safety for hernia repair in children under the age of six was considered.
