Summary

Laparoscopic management of recurrent inguinal hernia in children has been recently introduced in surgical practice. One of the most important advantages of using the laparoscopic approach in cases with recurrent inguinal hernia (RIH) is that it avoids the previous operation site thus avoiding injuries to the vas and vessels \[19\]. Some authors designed a study to compare laparoscopic hernia repairs with classical open repairs for pediatric RIH following the first open repair. They stated that avoiding the scarred tissue the former operation area with the laparoscopic approach facilitates the procedure and decreases both the operative time and complication rate. \[5\]. Further, it is as simple as a fresh hernia repair because the time taken for the repair of recurrent hernia laparoscopically was the same as the fresh laparoscopic repair with no added complication \[5,20\]. In laparoscopic surgery, approaching the hernia defect from within the abdomen, makes the area of interest bloodless, and the magnification renders anatomy very clear, making surgery precise \[6,7\].

hernia repair

Two 3-mm needle holders were used for stitching the wide IIR. Then the suture was continued along the upper margin of IIR, but in a deeper plane to include the peritoneum and the deeper fascia transversalis.
