“…A recent systematic review and meta-analysis focused on many outcomes and concluded that [27] concluded that the laparoscopic hernia repair is the preferred method for managing inguinal hernia in pediatrics over open herniotomy as it has a shorter operative time, lower risk of metachronous contralateral inguinal hernia development, postoperative hydrocele, and postoperative scrotal edema, and its major benefit is for the assessment of contralateral side of inguinal region to prevent development of metachronous contralateral inguinal hernia. The study [27] showed that hernia recurrence is not less prevalent in open repair than in laparoscopic repair. The correlation to which the laparoscopic approach is needed in further studies, as many approaches are described is a limitation that needs extended study.…”
