CABRERA MACHADO, Carlos Alberto et al. Clinical Practice Guidelines children´s inguinal hernia disease. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2021, vol.93, n.2  Epub 01-Jun-2021. ISSN 1561-3119.

Children´s inguinal hernia disease comprises a group of conditions in the groin region that have their genesis in failures of peritoneal vaginal duct obliteration or vaginal duct. The purpose of the authors is to share these guidelines with pediatric surgeons through its publication, which would allow them to use it as a reference in their institutions. Children´s inguinal hernia disease is the leading cause of elective operations, programmed or planned, in pediatric surgical units. It has an incidence ranging from 1 to 7% of the children population. At the IV National Symposium on Pediatric Surgery (Varadero, Matanzas, 1-3 July 2019) these clinical practice guidelines were presented, discussed and approved. Their application in different pediatric surgery services would benefit a large number of children with this disease, as well as being useful as guidance to professionals in charge of health care for children and adolescents in the primary health care level.
