The objective of the study was to summarize 9\u00a0years of experience using a single-port micro-laparoscopic approach to repair pediatric inguinal hernias with a simple hernia needle.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>1880 children with inguinal hernias were enrolled using micro-laparoscopic surgery between June 2009 and 2018. All patients underwent high ligation surgery using a single-port micro-laparoscopic\u00a0technique. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>All micro-laparoscopic surgeries were successfully performed in the 1880 patients, who ranged in age from 2\u00a0months to 14\u00a0years (3.66\u2009\u00b1\u20092.96\u00a0years) including 1622 males and 258 females. Among them, 1299 cases were unilateral hernias and 581 cases were bilateral hernias. The average operating time was 12.5\u2009\u00b1\u20093.5\u00a0min for a unilateral hernia and 20.5\u2009\u00b1\u20094.5\u00a0min for bilateral hernias. All patients were discharged 1\u20132\u00a0days after surgery, and the average length of their hospital stay was 2\u20134\u00a0days. Complications of knot reaction and pneumoscrotum occurred in 5 cases (0.27%) and 54 cases (2.87%), respectively, but these cases were properly managed, with no major impact on the operational outcomes. All patients were followed up for 3\u201365\u00a0months; there were 13 recurrent cases (0.69%).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Single-port micro-laparoscopic herniorrhaphy in children using a simple hernia needle is a reliable and minimally invasive procedure.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10029-019-02079-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,31]],"date-time":"2019-12-31T07:02:24Z","timestamp":1577775744000},"page":"639-644","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["A 9-year experience study of single-port micro-laparoscopic repair of pediatric inguinal hernia using a simple needle"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"R.","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Q.","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"X.","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"W.","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Z.","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Qi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,31]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"2079_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1081","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2006.02.028","volume":"41","author":"F Schier","year":"2006","unstructured":"Schier F (2006) Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair: a prospective personal series of 542 children.
