Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the results of endoscopic treatment of inguinal hernia in children with homemade percutaneous needles. Subjects and methods: 42 pediatric patients under 16 years of age, regardless of gender, diagnosed with inguinal hernia underwent laparoscopic surgery. Results: The average surgical time of pediatric patients was 21.55 ± 6.38 minutes. 30.9% of pediatric patients discovered contralateral hernia during surgery. No complications were recorded during surgery. The mean length of hospital stay was 1 day. Post-operation: 100% of children had stable incision condition. 3 months after surgery: no patient had recurrent inguinal hernia. The incision is beautiful and aesthetic in 97.6% of pediatric patients. Time of surgery does not depend on gender, age, time of disease detection, side of hernia and location of hernia mass. Conclusion: Laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery in children with homemade percutaneous needle is a safe and effective method.
