Laparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal closure with peritoneum reinforcement repair for pediatric inguinal hernia: a single-center experience with over 2,000 patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inguinal hernia is one of the common diseases in infants and children that requires operative treatment. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in children has become an alternative to the open procedure. Laparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal closure with peritoneum reinforcement (LPECPR) is a safe and effective approach for pediatric inguinal hernia, and has a lower recurrence. This is a retrospective study to present our experience with children who underwent LPECPR.

Methods

A total of 2,018 patients with inguinal hernia who underwent LPECPR in our hospital from July, 2011 to December, 2020 were reviewed. The surgical technique is modified on the basis of laparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal closure (LPEC) to close extraperitoneally by circuit suturing twi
