Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
