Abstract
The traditional approach to pediatric inguinal pathologies has been the suprapubic transverse inguinal incision. Alternative incisions for better cosmetic results may be considered. The recently defined "low inguinal groove incision" was used in a consecutive series of 483 children having indirect groin hernias, hydroceles, and palpable undescended testes, etc. The neonates, infants, and children were operated on as elective day surgery cases. All children ended with excellent cosmetic and functional results. There were no complications or morbidity apart from a recurrence of an inguinal hernia in a 7 year-old boy. In addition to the series of girls reported earlier, this novel surgical incision has further been employed in boys with excellent results.
