Quote from "ESPES Manual of Pediatric Minimally Invasive Surgery" by Ciro Esposito, François Becmeur, Henri Steyaert, Philipp Szavay -

"Children presenting RP and older than 4 years usually have a predisposing condition. These older patients usually present recurrent or persistent RP and tend to require surgical repair more often, while RP is usually a self-limiting condition that resolves spontaneously in younger patients [2]."
