  • The study aimed to compare the safety of early versus late surgical repair for inguinal hernias in preterm infants, addressing the debate on timing for the procedure.
  • Conducted across 39 US hospitals from September 2013 to April 2021, the trial involved 338 preterm infants with repairs either before NICU discharge or after reaching a certain postmenstrual age.
  • Results indicated that serious adverse events were slightly higher in the early repair group (28%) compared to the late repair group (18%), suggesting potential risks associated with earlier surgery.
