In recent years, the diagnosis and treatment of groin hernia have become more mature, and personalized treatment plans for different groin hernias have become more standardized. On the basis of the Guidelines for diagnosis and treatment on the adult groin hernia (2018 edition), more than 70 experts and scholars in China have discussed the consultation and modified the content of diagnosis and treatment of groin hernia in children and adolescents, diagnosis and treatment of scrotal hernia, management of hernia related complications, and postoperative education and follow-up in this new edition, combined with evidence-based medical evaluation standards. The relevant medical institutions and peers in China are requested to carry out the actual clinical reference.

Iliopsoas abscess (IPA) is rare in neonates. We present a case of neonatal IPA that was initially believed to bean inguinal hernia. A 20-day-old male infant was referred to our hospital for herniorrhaphy after a 2-day history of swelling and bluish discoloration of the left inguinal area and leg without limitation of motion. Abdominal and pelvic ultrasonography suggested a femoral hernia, but the anatomy was unclear. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a multi-septated cystic mass extending into the psoas muscle from the lower pole of the left kidney to the femur neck. Broad spectrum antibiotics were initiated, and prompt surgical exploration was planned. After opening the retroperitoneal cavity via an inguinal incision, an IPA was diagnosed and surgically drained. Culture of the abscess fluid detected Staphylococcus aureus, sensitive to methicillin. The patient was discharged without complication on the 17th postoperative day.
