Introduction: In our hospital we didfirst laparoscopic surgery in October 2013with doctors from Samsung Medical Center,Seoul, Korea. In NCMCH we did about 3000operations per year, and about 400 of themtakes inguinal hernia. Bilateral and unilateralbig hernias has a lot of complications,like swelling, recurrence etc. Goals andobjectives:comparison between LNAR andstandard open technique of hernia repair.Calculate the outcome, hospital stay,recurrence, complications.Materials and Methods: We describeour technique and experience with thelaparoscopic needle-assisted repair of inguinalhernia (LNAR). We report retrospectively 42cases (hernias) from September 2014 toDecember 2015. We have 2 groups. In firstgroup we did standard open hernia repair in23 (54,7%)cases, in second group we didLNAR in 19 (45,3%) cases. Hernia repairis accomplished with a one port needleassistedtechnique. After identification of apatent processusvaginalis, the internal ringis encircled in an extraperitoneal plane usinga 22G-Touhy needle for placement of apurse-string suture, tied extracorporally, andburied beneath the skin. The technique wasstandardized for second group cases. Inguinalhernias were laparoscopically repaired in19patients (16 boys and 3 girls) age range1year to 16 years. All 19 cases had bilateralrepair. Mean operating time for bilateral was45 min. No complications in second group.For the first group we had 18 boys and 5girls same age range. Mean operating time1hour 20min.8 minor complications wereidentified(8 swelling) and 1 recurrence. Postoperativedata show our technique is safewith no complication. No recurrence.Results: First group: we had 18 boysand 5 girls,age range 1year to 16 years.Mean operating time1 hour 20min. 8 minorcomplications were identified (8 swelling)and 1 recurrence. Second group: we had16 boys and 3 girls, age range 1year to 16years. All 19 cases had bilateral repair. Meanoperating time for bilateral was 45 min. Nocomplications.Conclusions: In our technique meantime was shorter than in standard opentechnique. Post-operative data show ourtechnique is safe with no complication.No recurrence. Furthermore, laparoscopyobjectively identifies asymptomatic or occultcontralateral defect, uses a smaller incision,and eliminates dissection of the cordstructures potentially reducing the risk ofcord injury.

Introduction:
Among women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), obesity is one of the diagnosis criteria
and it is evaluated by waist circumference. We aimed to determine the measurement of waist
circumference in women with PCOS. Obesity and PCOS tend to increase throughout the world.
In 1994, leptin was discovered to be directly related to body mass index in obesity. Ovarian cystic
syndrome has been shown to be associated with leptin levels and also that indicating the need for
prevention of obesity in women.
Objective:
Clinical and medical determination for the waist circumference of women with PCOS and comporation
study to leptin and comparative study to leptin levels.
Мaterial and Methods:
This research included a total of 86 women aged 18-35 in Ulaanbaatar city. We took a permission to
start the research at the meeting of the Research Ethics Council of the Mongolian National University
of Medical Sciences on March 22, 2019. Statistical analysis of this study results was performed using
SPSS 19.0, text recording using Microsoft Office 2018 software, T-test to exclude group differences,
ANOVA test for differences between more than two groups, and p<0.05 statistical probability difference.
Results:
The research of the 56 women tested for leptin in the serum of women with PCOS, 28 (32.5%) had
a normal BMI with PCOS and 28 (32.5%) had an excess of BMI with PCOS, respectively. The mean
levels of leptin was 13.86±11.40 kg/ml for people with normal BMI, PCOS and 33.78±17.63 kg/ml
for people with excess BMI, PCOS. Leptin is higher in women with BMI, PCOS and this result is
statistically significant (P-value 0.000).
Conclusion
Leptin levels are higher during PCOS, and leptin levels increase as the number of risk
factors increases. Leptin secretion is affected by BMI and waist circumference.
