INGUINAL RINGS: MORPHOMETRIC STUDY ON BRAZILIAN MALE NEWBORNS

Although of most importance for pediatricians and pediatric surgeons, the inguinal region of male newborns has never been steadily studied in a morphometric view. Our investigation was performed in order to measure the diameters of the inguinal rings (internal and external) and to determine their ex...
