ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different surgical techniques for treating inguinal hernias in children. An inguinal hernia occurs when a part of the intestine pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles, and this can happen in young patients. The trial will compare the effectiveness and safety of two methods: the percutaneous internal ring suturing (PIRS) technique and the laparoscopic intraperitoneal purse-string suture sac closure technique. The goal is to see which method is better in terms of how long the surgery takes, how much pain patients feel afterward, and the chances of the hernia coming back.

To participate in this trial, children aged between 1 month and 18 years with a new, uncomplicated inguinal hernia may be eligible. Unfortunately, kids with more complicated hernias or certain medical conditions are not able to join. If enrolled, participants will undergo one of the surgical techniques being studied and will be monitored for their recovery and any potential issues. This research aims to find the safest and most effective way to treat inguinal hernias in young patients, ultimately improving their care and outcomes.
