چکیده
Athena used to think that neonates are altogether a different species than Homo sapiens. For example, they are poikilothermic in contrast to homeothermic adult human beings. Inguinal hernia is yet another proof of this philosophical assertion. Herniotomy, a minor affair in grown-up children, is often a serious issue in newborn especially when they are premature.

Athena reviewed the literature to know the recent status of these controversies.
