Inguinal hernia repair in children using the minimally invasive PIRS technique
Surgery for inguinal hernia is one of the most common surgical procedures in children in the surgery departments. Professor Patkowski described a minimally invasive inguinal hernia repair using the PIRS (Percutaneous Internal Ring Suturing) method. The method has been shown in studies to be a safe alternative to the conventional open groin approach with excellent cosmetic effect.
