Background: Inguinal hernia is one of the most common surgical conditions in children. Herniotomy is the surgery performed for a pediatric hernia and hydrocele. This study was done to know the demography and outcome of pediatric herniotomy at our center. Materials and methods: A prospective study on patients who underwent herniotomy from 10th May 2016 to 9th May 2017 was conducted at the Department of Surgery, Western Regional Hospital. Results: During this study 112 patients underwent herniotomy out of which 98 were boys while 14 were girls. 59(52.67%) patients had unilateral hernia, 40(35.71%) had unilateral hydrocele and 13(11.6%) had bilateral condition among which 8 had hernia and 5 had hydrocele. 69(61.6%) patients presented with a right-sided, 30(26.7%) with left-sided, and 13(11.6%) with bilateral conditions. 13 patients (11.6%) presented at the emergency with irreducible hernia. Two among the patient who underwent emergency herniotomy developed postoperative wound infection and one among the elective surgery had recurrence. Conclusion: Pediatric inguinal hernias and hydroceles are often difficult to diagnose clinically. Herniotomy is often performed by junior consultants who have no specific training in pediatric surgery. Timely planning of surgery is required to minimize preoperative complications.

Prospective Study Design

Forsinkelser og strykninger under elektive operasjoner hindrer optimal drift og kan være en påkjenning for pasienter. Målet med studien var å identifisere og beskrive de faktiske årsaker til forsinkelser ved elektive operasjoner, samt omfang, varighet og andre kjennetegn ved slike forsinkelser. Studien har et flermetodisk prospektivt studiedesign. I en periode på to måneder ble alle elektronisk registrerte forsinkelser fulgt opp med strukturerte intervju. I løpet av studieperioden ble halvparten av elektive operasjoner registrert med en eller flere forsinkelser (N = 402). Informantene anga 60 ulike rotårsaker som en forklaring på forsinkelsene. I 72% av alle forsinkelser var årsaken knyttet til organisering/administrering av operasjonsplanleggingen. Forsinkelser ved elektive operasjoner skyldes i stor grad utilstrekkelig planlegging og organisering. Mer presis planlegging, informasjonsutveksling og forbedret dataverktøy kan redusere forsinkelser ved elektive operasjoner. Causes of delays in elective surgery: A prospective study Abstract Delays and cancellations in elective surgery prevent optimal services and can be stressful for patients. This study aimed to identify and describe the actual causes of delays in elective surgery, and the extent, duration and other characteristics of these delays. The study has a multi-method prospective study design. For two months, all electronically recorded delays in a Norwegian hospital were followed up with structured interviews to identify their true causes. Half of the elective surgeries recorded had one or more delays (N = 402). The delays had 60 different root causes; using qualitative content analysis, these were interpreted into 13 subcategories and four main categories, namely patient-related (17%), staff-related (10%), related to surgical ward/equipment (2%) or organizational (71%). Most delays were due to poor planning and organization of surgery. The study indicates that more precise planning, better information exchange and an improved electronic tool can reduce delays in elective surgery.
