Summary

This research project aims to evaluate pediatric patients who underwent laparoscopic Percutaneous Internal Ring Suturing (PIRS) for inguinal hernia.

Detailed description

Inguinal hernia repair is the most common procedure performed by pediatric surgery trainees. Open hernia repair (OH) is considered the gold standard approach for children; however, laparoscopic repair (LR) has recently emerged as an alternative option. Laparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal closure of internal inguinal ring (Laparoscopic Percutaneous Internal Ring Suturing) (PIRS) is one of the plainest and most dependable operations for pediatric inguinal hernia.
