Özet

Background/Purpose: Previous findings have suggested that the development of adult inguinal hernias could be related to alterations in fibrillar collagen synthesis in the hernial sac as a decrease in the ratio of the relative amounts of type I/III collagen. The aim of this study was to investigate whether an alteration in type I and type III collagen synthesis was associated with the development of childhood inguinoscrotal pathologies.
