Çocuklarda kasık fıtığı ve hidrosellerde cerrahi tedavi

Amaç: Çocuklarda kasık fıtığı ve hidrosellerin özelliklerinin, bu olgulara yaklaşımdaki sorunların klinik ve cerrahi bulguların ışığında tartışılması. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada kliniğimizde 1987-2005 arasında kasık fıtığı/hidrosel tanılarıyla ameliyat edilmiş olan 15642 hastanın ameliyat ve ameliyat sonrası kontrol kayıtları geriye dönük olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Ameliyat sonrası izlem süresi en az 6 ay (ortalama 2 yıl) olan ve yaşları 1 gün-14 yıl arasında değişen hastaların 12886'sı (% 82) erkek, 275&sı (%18) kızdı.Erkeklerin 726&sı kasık fıtığı, 276&sı torba fıtığı, 2513xü ilişkili hidrosel ve 34Vİ ilişkisiz hidrosel; kızların ise 2723}ü kasık fıtığı, 33'ü ise ilişkisiz hidrosel tanısıyla ameliyat edildi. Toplam 376 olguda (% 2.4) ek hastalıklar vardı. Serimizde ölüm oranı sıfır olup, % 0.9 sıklıkta başta fıtığın yinelemesi ve yara enfeksiyonu olmak üzere çeşitli istenmeyen sonuçlarla karşılaşılmıştır. Sonuç: Laparoskopik onarımla ilgili yayınların giderek artmasına karşın çocuk kasık fıtık/ hidrosellerinde açık cerrahi tedavi halen en etkin, güvenilir ve ucuz yöntem olma özelliğini korumaktadır.

Surgical treatment of inguinal hernios and hydroceles in children

Objective: To discuss the clinical and surgical aspects of inguinal hernias and hydroceles in children. Material and Methods: In this study medical and surgical records of 15842 patients, operated for inguinal hernia or hydrocele in our hospital between 1987 and 2005 were reviewed retrospectively. Results: The patients were aged between 1 days and 14 years,and, minimal follow-up period was six two years. Of the 12886 boys, 7266 were operated for inguinal hernia, 2766 for scrotal hernia, 2513 for communicating hydrocele, and 341 for non-communicating hydrocele; of the 2756 girls, 2723 were operated for inguinal hernia and 33 for non-communicating hydrocele, respectively. There were associated abnormalities in 376 (2.4 %) of the patients. Complication rate was 0.9 % and, there was no recorded death in our series. Conclusion: Although the increasing number of laparoscopic repair reports in the literature, open surgical treatment of inguinal hernias and hydroceles in children remains as the most cheap, safe and, effective method.
