A Faster and Simpler Operation Method for Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair in Children

摘要

Background: Inguinal hernias (IHs) are common in infants and children. The key step in inguinal hernia repair is high ligation of the hernia sac. The current main treatment methods for IHs are open and laparoscopic surgery. Over the past two decades, laparoscopic herniorrhaphy has increased in popularity. Herein, we introduced a new method to laparoscopically treat IHs. The goal of this study was to investigate the clinical effects and advantages of this new operation technique for IHs, which is called the "hernia sac ligation by single-incision laparoscopic surgery with a double-line band method."
