Background: Diverse techniques have been described for pediatric inguinal hernia repair, based on extraperitoneal [1-4] and intraperitoneal [5-8] methodologies. In this video, we describe a novel technique to repair pediatric inguinal hernia using an Endo Close™ suturing device by percutaneous puncture with a single incision.
Methods: With a transumbilical approach, a 5-mm trocar is inserted for a 30° laparoscope.
