Comparison of clinical efficacy of different surgical methods in the treatment of inguinal hernia in children

Abstract

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic surgery, small transverse incision under the transverse stripes surgery and traditional open surgery for the treatment of children with inguinal hernia. Methods The clinical data of 396 children with inguinal hernia treated by the People's Hospital of Gongan County from January 2012 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 124 patients underwent laparoscopic surgery (group A), 134 patients underwent small transverse incision under the transverse stripes surgery (group B) and 138 cases underwent traditional open surgery (group C). The surgical outcomes and complications of the three groups were compared. Results The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, length of incision, length of hospital stay, the time of activity, exhaust time and pain scores in the three groups were statistically significant (P 0.05). Conclusion Compared with traditional open surgery and small transverse incision under the transverse stripes surgery, laparoscopic surgery inguinal hernia has the advantages of short operation time, small trauma, quick recovery and high safety. It is worthy of further clinical application. Key words: Laparoscopy; Small transverse incision under the transverse stripes; Traditional surgery
