Laparoscopic disconnection of the hernial sac: is it enough for the treatment of congenital inguinal hernia in children?
Laparoscopic sac disconnection alone is sufficient for CIH with IRD ≤ 1 cm, offering shorter operative times with excellent outcomes. For larger defects (> 1 cm), IPTR provides durable repair despite longer operative times. This IRD-based algorithm optimizes outcomes while maintaining procedural simplicity.
