摘要
Laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy has traditionally been performed using one 5-mm and two 11-mm trocars. In this report, we evaluate the feasibility of the preperitoneal repair of inguinal hernias using the needlescopic method (2-mm ports) and describe the technique used in this repair. A total of 11 inguinal hernias were treated with needlescopic extraperitoneal repair. There were five direct and six indirect hernias. One patient had a bilateral hernia. The average operative time was 54 min. One patient was converted to the standard laparoscopic extraperitoneal method. All patients were discharged a few hours after the procedure. They were able to resume activity within a few days and required only minimal analgesic intake. Follow-up ranged from 1 to 6 months. All patients were followed up by one of the surgeons at 1, 3, and 6 weeks, and then at 6 months. No complications were encountered. There have been no recurrences to date. Overall. needlescopic extraperitoneal repair of inguinal hernias is a feasible procedure in male patients seeking better cosmetic results than can be achieved with standard laparoscopic extraperitoneal repair. This procedure is technically more demanding. The operative time is longer. The cosmetic aspect is the only advantage of this technique.
