Can Intraoperative Video Recordings Contribute to Improving Laparoscopic Percutaneous Extraperitoneal Closure in Children with Inguinal Hernia and Prevent Recurrence? A Pilot Study.

Aim: We reviewed intraoperative video recordings (IVRs) of laparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal closure (LPEC) for inguinal hernia in children blindly to assess performance. Methods: IVRs of 183 LPEC performed between April 2013 and March 2016, graded by the operating surgeon as difficult (D; n = 8), straightforward (S; n = 96), or easy (E; n = 79), were scored by a panel of reviewers with advanced (group A; >400 LPEC cases; n = 5), intermediate (group I; 50-150 cases; n = 5), and basic (group B; <10 cases; n = 5) experience, according to suturing, dissection plane, vas/vessel dissection, bleeding, and peritoneal injury. They also allocated a recurrence risk rank (RRR; highest = 6; lowest = 1) for each IVR. Mean score variance for each IVR was also compared between reviewers. Results: There was one recurrence (R; 4-year-old male; level E). RRR were: 1, 2, and 2 for reviewers A, I, and B, respectively. Reviewer A scores for "suturing" and "bleeding," and reviewer I scores for "dissection plane" and "peritoneal injury" correlated significantly with RRR. No reviewer B scores correlated with RRR. Score variance between A and I and A and B for cases D1 and D2 were statistically significant. Conclusion: Advanced reviewers showed greatest variance, questioning the validity of whether experience alone improves surgical technique.
