Abstract
Introduction: Laparoscopic paediatric hernia repair has since been performed more frequently. Recently, a double-ligation method was introduced to prevent recurrence in laparoscopic surgery. The objective of our study was to compare the postoperative outcomes of patients who underwent double and single ligations.
Patients and methods: We performed a retrospective review of patients with inguinal hernia who underwent laparoscopic paediatric inguinal hernia repair from 2014 to 2018 at our institution. Patients were divided into two groups and underwent single ligation and double ligation.
Results: Three hundred and six patients (single-ligation group: 142 and double-ligation group: 164) were included. Four patients experienced recurrence, and the recurrence rate was 1.29%. The recurrence rate was significantly higher in the single-ligation group. There were no statistically significant differences in the postoperative complications between the two groups.
Conclusion: Double-ligation method in laparoscopic paediatric hernia repair was relatively safe and helpful.
