However, the role of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in pediatric patients is not well-established, even though it is being explored as an alternative to open herniotomy procedure. In the present study, laparoscopic needlescopic hernia repair was compared with the conventional open herniotomy procedure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Material and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study was a case-control study conducted in a tertiary care hospital in northeast India during 2018\u20132021. A total of 25 patients underwent needlescopic hernia repair, the outcome of which was compared by collecting data of 25 more patients who earlier underwent open herniotomy repairs.<\/jats:p>\n
