Summary

laparoscopic hernia sac high-ligation

* has a high recurrence rate laparoscopic hernia sac high-ligation and the lateral umbilicus ligament covering the hernia opening
* The investigators developed a method of laparoscopic hernia repair by applying a new concept in hernia repair. The hernia opening was tightened, and hernia opening region repaired with a lateral umbilicus ligament in a tension-free manner. This method combines the advantages of a secure repair achieved by the open method with the minimal invasiveness of the laparoscopic method. 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.
