Outcomes of laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy in female pediatric patients, particularly those with ovarian hernias

Inguinal hernia in females may contain uterine adnexa. The common presentation is herniation of one ovary, but involvement of both ovaries in a unilateral hernial sac and simultaneous herniation of other organs are possible. Regardless, ovarian hernias have a high incarceration rate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy in female pediatric patients, particularly those with ovarian hernias.
