Core Tip

Core Tip: At present, surgical treatment is the main treatment method for inguinal hernia in children. The traditional open surgical incision is large, and it is very easy to damage the nerves in the inguinal area in children. The high-risk factors that cause recurrence after laparoscopic surgery for inguinal hernia have been analyzed, and early prevention and treatment to improve the prognosis of children has been deemed significantly important. In this study, we analyzed the effect of laparoscopic surgery on indirect inguinal hernia and the risk factors.
