Maria E Linnaus et al. Semin Pediatr Surg. 2016 Dec.

Abstract

Complications related to general pediatric surgery procedures are a major concern for pediatric surgeons and their patients. Although infrequent, when they occur the consequences can lead to significant morbidity and psychosocial stress. The purpose of this article is to discuss the common complications encountered during several common pediatric general surgery procedures including inguinal hernia repair (open and laparoscopic), umbilical hernia repair, laparoscopic pyloromyotomy, and laparoscopic appendectomy.

Keywords: Complication; Inguinal hernia repair; Laparoscopy; Pediatric surgery.
