| Abstract | ||||
| Background: congenital inguinal hernia is considered to be among the commonest paediatric surgical procedures in daily practice. Open herniotomy with high ligation is of the hernial sac is the gold standard treatment against which all modalities of laparoscopic repair should be compared. With the advances of minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, less complications and better cosmesis has become the point of study. Objective: was to review the current literature about laparoscopic and needlescopic techniques and highlighting its surgical outcomes. Data source: English midline search using the keywords inguinal hernia, paediatric age, laparoscopy, minimally invasive surgery, needlescopic repair in PubMed, Google scholar, research gate and science direct during the period 1997- 2020. Study selection: article of high quality, randomised controlled trial are only included Data extraction: data were collected, organised according the type of study and extracted systematically from these studies Data analysis: performed with the IBM SPSS 20.0 software. Conclusion: Laparoscopy has become a good substitution for the open method in the last years due to its advantages and by time minimally invasive manoeuvres became a good substitution for the conventional type of laparoscopic repair as they are easier for the laparoscopic beginners, carry less learning curve, almost have the same results, recurrence rate and have better cosmoses. | ||||
