Abstract
Background: One of the most frequent surgical disorders in newborns and kids is inguinal hernia. However, there is a debate regarding the advantages of laparoscopic herniorrhaphy (LH) versus traditional open herniotomy (OH).
Aim of the Study: The aim of this review is to analyze the current literature to assess the outcome of LH compared with OH regarding postoperative scrotal edema and surgical site infection.
Results: We reviewed the publications that were published between January 2011 and December 2020. The retrieved publications were analysed included more than 100 studies then concentrate on 30 review. Our study showed that the laparoscopic hernia repair group had significantly lower incidence of postoperative scrotal oedema as compared with the open repair group. At the same time, laparoscopy has a superiority over conventional hernia repair according to surgical site infection.
Conclusions: Our findings indicated that laparoscopic hernia repair is preferable to open herniotomy as the LH has significantly lower scrotal oedema incidence and lower SSI.
