Article Synopsis
- The study investigates pain levels in children under 5 years undergoing inguinal hernia repair using either laparoscopic approach (LA) or traditional open approach (OA).
- A total of 74 patients' records were reviewed, and pain was assessed using the FLACC scoring system, which rates pain based on facial expressions, leg movement, activity, crying, and consolability.
- Results showed that while LA is less invasive, it did not result in lower postoperative pain levels compared to OA, particularly in children younger than 2 years.
