Disma N, et al. - The GAS study is an international RCT that evaluated neurodevelopmental outcome comparing general plus regional anesthesia vs regional anesthesia alone in 722 neonates and infants who had inguinal hernia repair up to 60 weeks of postmenstrual age. A secondary descriptive analysis of hernias, aspects of surgery and outcomes were included in this work. Bilateral hernias were observed in correlation with lower gestational age at birth and female gender. A low incidence of complications was evident and the anesthesia technique was observed having no effect on surgical outcome.
