Transumbilical Single-Site Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Inversion and Ligation in Girls.

OBJECTIVES
The combination of transumbilical single-site laparoscopic inguinal hernia inversion and ligation is a new approach for girls. We have done 13 cases in our hospital since May 2013.


MATERIALS AND METHODS
Thirteen girls with inguinal hernia, from 6 months to 10 years of age, were treated with transumbilical single-site laparoscopy.


RESULTS
None of the patients underwent conversion from single-site laparoscopy to the open approach or conventional laparoscopic surgery. The average operation time was 35.15±6.68 minutes. Four cases were found to have a contralateral inguinal hernia. The patients were discharged the day after operation. Follow-up of 7 months to a year with all cases showed no recurrence and no incision complication.


CONCLUSIONS
The combination of transumbilical single-site laparoscopic inguinal hernia inversion and ligation is a reliable, safe, and cosmetic herniorrhaphy for girls with inguinal hernia.
