Background: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) repair can be challenging, particularly when a larger defect is present. Barbed sutures prevent the suture from slipping back after approximation of the tissues. Although introduced almost 2 decades ago, barbed sutures have not been widely used for CDH repair.

- Anorectal malformations can vary widely, and researchers created a minimally invasive method called percutaneous anorectoplasty (PARP) for repairing certain types of these lesions.
- A study analyzed 10 patients who underwent the PARP procedure between 2008 and 2021, with most procedures using imaging techniques like ultrasound, and found high satisfaction rates regarding continence and functionality post-surgery.
- The PARP technique is particularly effective for boys with perineal fistulae and works well for patients without fistulae, with the choice of imaging guidance tailored to the individual anatomy of the lesions.
Introduction And Importance: Injuries to the inferior epigastric vessels during laparoscopic surgery are rare but reported. They can lead to significant morbidity. We report the successful tamponade of a bleeding epigastric vessel during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in a child using a Foley catheter.
