The pediatric inguinal hernia is the commonest defect the surgeon performs surgery on and is usually indirect. It is believed that these hernias rarely go away, and therefore, virtually all should be repaired. Much has been written about this condition, but the controversy on different aspects of it still exists. This article aims to address the controversies and decision making in pediatric inguinal hernias.
