ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Inguinal hernia is a common clinical manifestation in children.
Research motivation
To assess the rationality of laparoscopic treatment of inguinal hernia.
Research objectives
To determine the effect of laparoscopic surgery on indirect inguinal hernia and the risk factors for postoperative recurrence.
Research methods
We selected 360 children who underwent laparoscopic high ligation in our hospital as the laparoscopic group and 120 patients treated for inguinal hernia with conventional surgery as the control group.
Research results
The rate of surgical complications in the laparoscopic group was 1.67% lower than the rate of 12.50% in the control group (P < 0.05). 14 of 360 children with laparoscopic high ligation of the hernia sac had recurrence within 2 years after surgery.
Research conclusions
Laparoscopic surgery for indirect inguinal hernia in children has the advantages of low trauma and a rapid postoperative recovery.
Research perspectives
Minimally invasive surgery benefits more patients.
