Abstract: İnguinal bölge patolojileri, çocuk cerrahlarının en sık uğraştığı hastalık grubudur. Bu çalışmada, Malatya ili okul çağı çocuklarında bu patolojilerin görülme sıklığını ve tedavilerinin ne oranda tamamlandığını basit ama bilgilendirici bir tarama yöntemi kullanarak bulmayı amaçladık. İlin değişik bölgelerine dağılmış 10 ilkokul ziyaret edilerek, toplam 9078 öğrenciye ailelerine verilmek üzere inguinal bölge patolojileri ve tanısı ile ilgili açıklayıcı bilgi içeren formlar dağıtıldı. İkinci ziyarette formlar toplanarak, aileleri tarafından inguinal bölge patolojisi olduğu bildirilen 1086 öğrenci çalışmaya dahil edilerek fizik muayeneleri yapıldı. Bunlardan 191 (%2.1) öğrencide ingunal herni, 15 (%0.31) erkek öğrencide inmemiş testis mevcuttu. İnguinal hernili öğrencilerin sadece 61'i (%32), inmemiş testislilerin ise 7'si (%47) opere olmuştu. İnguinal bölge patolojilerinin onarımı çocuk cerrahları tarafından en sık yapılan cerrahi girişimler olsa da, çalışmamız, ilkokul çağı çocuklarında yine de büyük oranda tedavinin tamamlanmadığını, ve komplikasyon riskleri taşıdığını göstermektedir. Özellikle okullarda yapılacak bu tür basit ve masrafsız taramaların, henüz tanı konulmamış olgulara ve ailelerine ulaşmayı sağlayarak, tedavilerinin yapılıp komplikasyonların önlenmesinde yardımcı olacağına inanıyoruz.
Abstract: Inguinal pathologies are the most common surgical diseases performed by pediatric surgeons. In this study, we aimed to detect the incidence and the ratio of operated cases among school children in Malatya by using a simple, but informative screening method. Primary schools in different regions of the city have been visited, and queries containing a guideline for diagnosis and brief information about inguinal pathologies were distributed to a total of 9078 students in order to reach the parents. In the second visit, queries were collected and 1086 students, which were reported by families to have pathology were examined. 191 (2.1%) student had inguinal hernia, and 15 (0.31%) of boys had undescended testis, and only 61 (32%), and 7 (47%) of them had operation, respectively. In conclusion, although the most common reasons of surgical interventions performed by pediatric surgeons are inguinal pathologies, this study has revealed that even the primary school age children still carry the risks and hazards of the complications for these diseases. It seems that such easily performed and inexpensive mass screenings done especially in schools may help to reach the undetected cases, and interact with the families to solve their children's problem and prevent the development of complications.
