Single-port laparoscopy-assisted trans-scrotal hernia sac ligation for pediatric male inguinal hernia.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We report the introduction of a novel single-port laparoscopic-assisted trans-scrotal hernia sac ligation (LAT-HSL) technique for the treatment of inguinal hernias in pediatric males. In this article, we describe the LAT-HSL technique and the outcomes.
