Summary
All patients of age 6 month to 12 years with inguinal hernia were included in study. Data was collected on detailed proforma regarding age, sex, side ,operative time, cosmesis , and postoperative complications
Detailed description
BACKGROUND: The best method of inguinal hernia repair in children continues to be a topic of debate. Although recent data shows that LPEC is superior and safe but no such data exists in our country. Operative time and recurrence are main concerns. Hence, present study is carried out to compare outcome of LPEC versus OHR in children. OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcome of laparoscopic percutaneous extra-peritoneal closure and open repair for inguinal hernia in children METHODOLOGY: It was a randomized control trial conducted on 66 patients (33 in each group) presented to our hospital with features of Inguinal Hernia. Patients were admitted after confirmation of diagnosis by ultrasound and complete blood count (CBC) was sent. Pre operatively patients were divided in two groups randomly (Open Hernia Repair group, LPEC group) by closed envelope method. Consent was taken from parents regarding inclusion in the study. All demographic data and results were noted down in a proforma. The collected data was entered and analyzed in computer software SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) version 26.0.
