Abstract:
Many laparoscopic techniques have been developed to repair inguinal hernia in children using either an intraperitoneal or extraperitoneal approach. Percutaneous internal ring suturing (PIRS) is one of the extracorporeal suture techniques. It could be performed with comparable surgical complication or recurrence rates and excellent cosmetic results. To minimize the perioperative complications, surgical procedures of PIRS can be performed carefully with technical refinements for inguinal hernia repair in children.
