Abstract

Objective: Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in younger infants has not been completely accepted worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasiblity of laparoscopic percutaneous internal ring suturing method in children aged younger than 3 months and compare the recur- rence and complication rates with open repair; which may still be mentioned as the gold standard procedure. Material and Methods: A total of 387 children underwent inguinal hernia repair in the clinic between 2016 and 2019. One hundred and forty of them were under 3 months old and divided into two groups; children who underwent laparoscopic percutaneous internal ring suturing (Group 1) and open surgery (Group 2). Selection of the surgical method was regardless of weight, sex or any patient characteristics other than surgeon’s choice. Operation durations, complications and recurrences were compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 140 patients underwent surgery due to inguinal hernia. Group 1 included 85 and Group 2 included 55 children. There were two recurrences in each group (p> 0.05). Operative durations were shorter in Group 1 for both; unilateral and bilateral repairs (p< 0.0001). There were no intraoperative complications in any group. There was one major postoperative complication in Group 2: iatrogenic undescended testis, and none was observed in Group 1. In the laparoscopic group, 47% of the children who were diagnosed to have unilateral hernia were revealed to have bilateral inguinal hernias (n= 31). Conclusion: Laparoscopic percutaneous internal ring suturing method seems favourable in terms of operative time. It also has the advantage of de- tecting contralateral patent processus vaginalis or asymptomatic contralateral inguinal hernia.

Özet

Giriş ve Amaç: Küçük bebeklerde laparoskopik inguinal herni onarımı dünya çapında tam olarak kabul görmemiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, 3 aydan küçük çocuklarda laparoskopik perkütan iç halka süturu yönteminin güvenilirliğini ve uygulanabilirliğini değerlendirmek ve halen altın standart prosedür olarak kabul edilen açık onarım ile rekürrens ve komplikasyon oranlarını karşılaştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Klinikte 2016-2019 yılları arasında toplam 387 çocuğa inguinal herni onarımı yapıldı. Bunların 140’ı 3 aylıktan küçüktü ve bu hastalar iki gruba ayrıldı; laparoskopik perkütan iç halka süturu (Grup 1) ve açık cerrahi (Grup 2) yapıldı. Cerrahi yöntemin seçimi, cerrahın rutinde kullanmakta olduğu yöntem dışındaki ağırlık, cinsiyet veya herhangi bir hasta özelliğinden bağımsız olarak yapıldı. Operasyon süreleri, kompli- kasyonlar ve rekürrensler iki grup arasında karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Toplam 140 hasta, kasık fıtığı nedeniyle ameliyat edildi. Grup 1’de 85 ve Grup 2’de 55 çocuğu bulunmaktaydı. Her grupta iki rekürrens saptandı (p> 0,05). Grup 1’de tek taraflı ve çift taraflı onarımların her ikisi için de ameliyat süreleri daha kısaydı (p< 0,0001). İki grupta da intraope- ratif komplikasyon görülmedi. Grup 2’de bir majör postoperatif komplikasyon görüldü; iyatrojenik inmemiş testis, Grup 1’de postoperatif majör komplikasyon görülmedi. Laparoskopik grupta tek taraflı fıtık tanısı alan çocukların % 47’sinde bilateral kasık fıtığı (n= 31) olduğu saptandı. Sonuç: Laparoskopik perkütan internal ring sütur yöntemi ameliyat süresi açısından uygun bir yöntem olarak görünmektedir. Ayrıca kontralateral patent prosessus vaginalis veya asemptomatik kontralateral inguinal herninin eş zamanlı tespit edilmesi avantajını taşımaktadır.
