Abstract:

Objective To summarize our anatomic experience and surgical skills to treating the pediatric hernia by the single-port technique. Method A total of 1735 boys with the inguinal hernia who underwent single-port laparoscopic hernia repair were retrospectively included. The mean age was 26.7 months (range from 23.5 to 36.8 month). A right-sided hernia was observed in 892 boys, a left-sided hernia in 595 boys and a bilateral hernia in 248 boys. Result All procedures were performed successfully without any serious complications resulting from anatomical factors, except for one case of iliac vessel hematoma.  Conclusion  Better anatomic understanding of surgical region is crucial for successful laparoscopic hernia repair operation, and practiced technique is the key for improving the surgical safety and preventing complications and recurrence.
