2019, Journal of Pediatric UrologyCitation Excerpt :According to this data, the authors repaired two PPVs to prevent one CMIH. Inguinal hernia occurs in 0.8–4.4% of children, and 85–90% of the cases present with unilateral hernia [1–5,10,12,13]. Symptomatic CMIH may develop in 4–34% of the children after unilateral inguinal hernia repair [1–14].
