Comparison of laparoscopic and open pediatric inguinal hernia repairs at two institutions
2018
Background/Purpose
The proposed benefits of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in the pediatric population include easier access to the contralateral groin and avoidance of manipulation of the spermatic cord; however, some studies also report higher recurrence rates. Due to these differences, the traditional open technique is still used by many pediatric surgeons. The objective of this study is to compare the outcomes of two institutions that employed different techniques.
