Article Synopsis
- Inguinal hernia repair is a common surgery for kids, and in Australia, doctors usually prefer open repair (OR) even though a newer method called laparoscopic repair (LR) is becoming popular in other places.
- A study looked at 376 babies who had either LR or OR and found that more babies had OR, but those who had LR had fewer problems later on.
- Both methods had similar risks of complications, but babies who had OR were more likely to get another hernia on the other side later.
