Some authors emphasized the importance of disconnecting the sac, to create a scar, and to close the peritoneum mimicking the open approach. Others stated that peritoneal disconnection alone is enough for treatment of PIH regardless of the size of the internal ring. In this study, we compare the short-term results of laparoscopic disconnection of PIH sac versus disconnection and peritoneal closure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Patients and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study was carried from March 2016 to March 2017, on 34 patients with 40 PIH. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: group A, subjected to laparoscopic hernia sac disconnection and group B, subjected to laparoscopic hernia sac disconnection with peritoneal closure. Both groups were compared regarding the operative details, including complications and conversion, postoperative complications and recurrence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Group A included 20 hernias in 15 patients, whereas group B included 20 hernias in 19 patients. The age ranged from 1 to 23 months. In group A, the mean operative time (OT) was 34.6 and 39.4 minutes, for unilateral and bilateral cases, respectively, whereas in group B, it was 45.1 minutes for unilateral cases and 65 minutes for 1 bilateral case. The OT was significantly shorter in group A for unilateral cases. There was no conversion and no intraoperative complications. Three recurrences occurred in group A (15% of hernias\/20% of cases) with no recurrences in group B; difference was statistically insignificant. All 3 recurrences occurred in hernias with an internal ring diameter (IRD) &gt;10\u2009mm. Hospital stay was statistically shorter in group B.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Both laparoscopic sac disconnection with internal ring closure and sac disconnection only are safe and effective treatments of PIH. However, the latter technique is not recommended for cases with IRD &gt;10\u2009mm because of the unacceptable high recurrence with rings &gt;10\u2009mm.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/lap.2018.0679","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,29]],"date-time":"2020-06-29T12:34:24Z","timestamp":1593434064000},"page":"927-934","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Laparoscopic Repair of Pediatric Inguinal Hernia: Disconnection of the Hernial Sac Versus Disconnection and Peritoneal Closure"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Akram Mohamed","family":"Elbatarny","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad G.","family":"Khairallah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mostafa M.","family":"Elsayed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amel A.","family":"Hashish","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","unstructured":"Yeung C Lee K.
