The aim of this paper is to analyze the method of term and preterm deliveries of twin pregnancies and vitality of twins at birth. The development of two fetuses in the uterine cavity at the same time is considered a twin pregnancy. Today, due to more often examination and proper treatment, 50% of twin pregnancies end in preterm delivery. We used retrospective study to analyze the delivery method and vitality of twins born term and preterm at Gynecology and Obstetrics Department of General hospital Novi Pazar in the five-year period, from 2009 to 2013. There were 10.489 deliveries in the said five-year period. Out of this number, 118 pregnancies were twin pregnancies and they amount to 1.12% of all deliveries which is in line with world’s standards. About 73% of deliveries were term and 27% were preterm twin deliveries. The analysis of twin vitality showed that first-born twins at both term and preterm deliveries are more vital and in better condition. Second-born twins are generally born with lower Apgar score. Due to liberalization for caesarean section indication, a great number of twin deliveries end in caesarean section. 

In this manuscript we report one pediatric surgeon’s experience in childhood inguinal hernia repair. From 2005 to 2008, 402 children with inguinal hernias were operated on by one surgeon. A retrospective survey of their charts was carried out to evaluate the demographics and clinical aspects of these patients. The ages ranged from 20 days to 16 years with a maleto-female ratio of 2.5:1. 64.9% right, 27.1% left, and 7.9% bilateral hernias. Hydroceles were present in 6.2% assosiated hernias. Incarceration occurred in 8.7% of children. An opposite-side hernia developed in 5.7%. 5.3 percent of patients with a hernia repair on the right side later developed a hernia on the left side, and 8.2% of patients with a hernia repair on the left side later developed one on the right side. 4.5 percent of all male patients in this series and 8.6% of female patients developed an opposite-side hernia. While overall recurrence rate was 1.2%, our recurrence rate was 0.25%. There was a 0.24% wound infection rate, and 1 (0.24%) testicle was atrophic at followup. In this study, in the recurrence of childhood hernia, the general surgeon’s intervention was the prominent cause. It is suggested by the study that inguinal hernias on the contralateral side becomes symptomatic within the first six months following initial operation.Therefor, close observation is needed in that time.
