Summary

The role of laparoscopic surgery in pediatric inguinal hernia repair is clear. Laparoscopic hernia repair is especially advantageous for bilateral diseases and minimally invasive technique in children because it avoids vas injury. However, the problem of recurrent rate has not been resolved. The aim of this study was to refine the current criteria used the lateral umbilicus ligament covering the internal hernia opening region, and eliminated recurrence in laparoscopic inguinal hernia (LIH) repair in children. The investigators hypothesized that the lateral umbilicus ligament covering the internal hernia opening region after the laparoscopic purse-string knot would result in lower recurrence and the same operation relative complication
