Description

Purpose: Inguinal hernia is a very common disease among infants and children. However, it is difficult to decide the timing of surgical intervention in girls with asymptomatic ovary-sliding inguinal hernia. The cases of inguinal hernia with ovarian necrosis are reviewed and evaluated. Methods: The clinical charts of all 1,875 girls who underwent inguinal herniorrhaphy between 1983 and 2003 were studied retrospectively. Results: Hemilateral or bilateral ovaries were palpable in 355 patients. Of these, 15 cases needed emergent surgical intervention for the suspected strangulated ovary. Necrotic ovaries were removed due to ovarian torsion in 6 cases, who were less than 1 year old. Conclusions: Even without signs of strangulation, ovary-sliding hernia should be repaired as soon as possible.
