Laparoscopic Pediatric Inguinal Hernia Repair: No Ligation, Just Resection

Abstract

No recurrences have been observed. We conclude that laparoscopic repair of CIH is feasible using this technique of complete resection of the processus vaginalis and surrounding parietal peritoneum. This series does not conclude on the need for the internal ring to be closed when found to be wider than 10 mm.
