Abstract:
Objective To study a novel method of laparoscopic treatment for indirect inguinal hernia in children. Methods Forty-eight children with indirect inguinal hernia (right: 31 cases, left: 13 cases, bilateral: 4 cases) were treated by one port laparoscopic surgery. Among those with unilateral hernia, contralateral latent hernia was found in 5 children. All the patients underwent high ligation of internal annulus under laparoscope. Results The duration of operation was 7～14 min (mean, 9 min). The mean postoperative hospital stay was 24 h. Skin sutures were not required. Follow-up for 3～15 months (mean, 9 5 months) revealed no recurrence. Conclusions One port laparoscopic high ligation of internal annulus is effective, minimally invasive and simple.
