Twenty-year experience with laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in infants and children: considerations and results on 1833 hernia repairs

Abstract: On the basis of our twenty-year experience, we prefer to perform IH repair in children using laparoscopy rather than inguinal approach. Laparoscopy is as fast as inguinal approach, and it has the advantage to treat during the same anesthesia a contralateral patency occured in about 40 % of our cases and to treat also rare hernias in about 3 % of cases.

“…Esposito et al [38] stressed that it is crucial to section the peri-orificial peritoneum before closing it, and to use a nonabsorbable suture for the closure of the internal inguinal ring. Schier et al [5] decided to incise the peritoneum lateral to the internal inguinal ring after starting their series of laparoscopic hernia repair, because they noted recurrences.…”
