Age-stratified outcomes after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in children: a large single-center cohort study

In brief

This single-center cohort study examines how patient age influences perioperative outcomes and recurrence rates following laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in pediatric patients. The research addresses gaps in understanding age-related variations in presentation and surgical results for this common pediatric condition.

• Age influences presentation patterns and surgical outcomes in pediatric laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair
• Single-center cohort study provides age-stratified data on perioperative characteristics for LIHR
• Recurrence rates after LIHR vary by patient age group in pediatric populations
• Large-scale analysis helps identify age-specific risk factors in laparoscopic hernia surgery
• Study addresses knowledge gap in age-related outcomes for minimally invasive pediatric hernia repair
