Transversus abdominis plane block versus caudal block with bupivacaine and dexmedetomidine for unilateral inguinal hernia repair in pediatric patients: a randomized clinical trial
CONCLUSIONS: The TAP block and caudal block provide good postoperative analgesia in children undergoing unilateral inguinal hernia repair. Adding dexmedetomidine to the TAP block was superior to the caudal block in terms of extending the length of the initial analgesic request, lowering analgesic requirement, and lowering pain scores without causing substantial adverse effects.PMID:37676175 | DOI:10.23736/S0375-9393.23.16675-2 (Source: Minerva Anestesiologica)

Postoperative management and complications after abdominal surgery in children receiving peritoneal dialysis
ConclusionsOur findings demonstrated that PD could be resumed within 48  h of inguinal hernia repair with no PD fluid leakage or hernia recurrence in pediatric patients. In addition, resuming PD 3 days after a laparoscopic procedure with less than half of the usual dialysate volume might reduce the risk of PD fluid leakage.Graphical abstractA higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available asSupplementary information (Source: Pediatric Nephrology)

Sex-based differences in inguinal hernia factors
ConclusionsFemales undergoing primary inguinal hernia repair had more preoperative risk factors for inguinal hernia than males. In our population, there was no higher incidence of bilaterality or significant genetic predisposition in females as noted by family history of hernias. Age, sex, BMI and number of deliveries did not correlate with the number of hernia defects found. Our study promotes awareness of inguinal hernias in females and presents new data to quantify sex-based differences and predispositions to inguinal hernias. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Impact of consensus guideline publication on the timing of elective pediatric umbilical hernia repair
The American Academy of Pediatrics published consensus guidelines advising observation of asymptomatic umbilical hernias until age 4 or 5, given unnecessary risks of early intervention and substantial practice variation. Yet, the impact of guidelines on early repair (age (Source: Surgery)

Airway management and quadratus lumborum block for inguinal hernia repair in context of chromosome 4q deletion: A case report
We present a patient with known 4QDS who underwent successful general anesthetic induction, tracheal intubation, and subsequently, bilateral quadratus lumborum nerve blocks, during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair surgery.AbstractChromosome 4q deletion syndrome (4QDS) is a rare chromosomal deletion with the potential for congenital defects that could affect the anesthetic management of affected patients, specifically with inconsistent reports of possible laryngeal narrowing which could precipitate intubation difficulties. We present a report of a patient with known 4QDS who underwent successful general anesthetic induct...

Comparison of Laparoscopic Percutaneous Extraperitoneal Internal Ring Closure by Two-Hook Hernia Needle and Open Repair for Pediatric Inguinal Hernia
Conclusions: Our initial research showed that laparoscopic two-hook hernia needle percutaneous extraperitoneal internal ring closure inguinal hernia repair is a safe and effective procedure. The LR method has the benefits of concealing the incision, a quicker procedure, having a lower risk of complications, and finding contralateral patent processus vaginalis. Therefore, promoting and using this surgical technique in clinical practice are merited.
