Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair in Children with Transperitoneal Division of the Hernia Sac and Proximal Purse String Closure of Peritoneum: Our Modified New Approach

Abstract

Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair with transperitoneal division of the hernia sac and purse string closure of the proximal peritoneum allows for a minimally invasive option for pediatric inguinal hernia repair that mimics open inguinal hernia repair. At medium term follow-up there have been no recurrences to date, high parent satisfaction, minimal scarring and good cosmetic results.
