Pogorelić Z, Stanić P, Bašković M. Comparison of Percutaneous Internal Ring Suturing (PIRS) versus Open Ligation of the Patent Processus Vaginalis for the Treatment of Communicating Pediatric Hydrocele. CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 11:437. [PMID: 38671654 PMCID: PMC11049082 DOI: 10.3390/children11040437] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the laparoscopic approach become standard for the treatment of many surgical conditions many studies still debating whether laparoscopic surgery has significant advantages over open surgery in regards to hernia or hydrocele treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of treatment of treatment of communicating hydrocele in pediatric patients between laparoscopic percutaneous internal ring suturing (PIRS) and open ligation of the patent processus vaginalis (PPV). METHODS The medical records of pediatric patients who underwent surgery for communicating hydrocele between 1 January 2019 and 1 January 2024 were retrospectively reviewed. The primary objective of the study is to investigate the outcomes of treatment (complications and recurrence rates) of communicating hydrocele in children between laparoscopic and open surgical approaches. Secondary outcomes of the study are the duration of surgery and anesthesia, length of hospital stay (LOS), frequency of hospital readmissions (ReAd) and unplanned return to the operating room (uROR). RESULTS A total of 198 children underwent surgery for a communicating hydrocele (205 repairs, as 7 cases were bilateral) and were included in the study. Of these, 87 children underwent a PIRS, while the remaining 111 cases underwent open ligation of the PPV. No recurrence of the hydrocele was observed in any of the study groups. Intraoperative complication (epigastric vein injury) was noted in two cases in both groups (2.3% vs. 1.8%, p > 0.999). A slightly higher number of postoperative complications was observed in the open group (n = 7, 6.3%) compared to the PIRS group (n = 2, 2.3%) (p = 0.190). The median duration of surgery (15 min (IQR 10, 17) vs. 21 min (IQR 15, 25); p < 0.001) and anesthesia (30 min (IQR 25, 40) vs. 40 min (IQR 35, 40); p < 0.001) were significantly lower in the PIRS group compared to open ligation of the PPV. In addition, a significantly shorter median of LOS was observed in the PIRS group compared to the open PPV group (9 h (IQR 8, 12) vs. 24 h (IQR 12, 24; p < 0.001). No cases of ReAd and uROR were observed in any of the study groups. CONCLUSIONS PIRS is a safe and effective laparoscopic technique that can be used in the treatment of communicating hydrocele in children. PIRS showed excellent outcomes and a low incidence of complications and recurrences, comparable to traditional open surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hydrocele is a result of intraperitoneal fluid filling into the scrotum through the patent processus vaginalis (PPV). While the traditional approach of pediatric hydrocele has been open repair (OR) for years, laparoscopic repair (LR) of hydrocele has been accepted worldwide after the proven efficacy of laparoscopy. The purpose is to compare the outcomes of both techniques in a single center. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of all the patients who underwent hydrocele repair from August 2016 to November 2022. In our center, the standard approach was OR in hydrocele until the November of 2021. Starting from this date, LR has begun to be preferred, as the experience has increased and its success has been observed. In the LR group, single-port percutaneous internal ring suturing technique was performed. RESULTS The data of 113 patients (OR 58.4% (n = 66), LR 41.6% (n = 47)) were collected. In preoperative examination, 12.4% (n = 14) patients were diagnosed as communicating and 87.6% (n = 99) non-communicating hydrocele. Intraoperatively, 65.5% (n = 74) patients were communicating and 34.5% (n = 39) were non-communicating. Total recurrence rate was 7% (n = 8). The OR group experienced a recurrence rate of 10.6% (n = 7), while the LR group experienced 2.12% (n = 1). CONCLUSION Laparoscopy may reveal intrabdominal connection of hydrocele better than open approach. It provides a high quality view of both inguinal rings and has the advantages of minimally invasive surgery.

Abstract
Background: Hydrocele of the canal of Nuck (HCN) is a rare cause of inguinal swelling in women. The optimal surgical procedure for HCN in children remains unclear. To assess the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal closure (LPEC) for HCN in a pediatric population, a retrospective study was conducted. In addition, to clarify the pathogenesis of HCN, we assessed the morphological findings of the internal inguinal ring (IIR). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 10 consecutive female patients with HCN who underwent LPEC at our hospital between January 2010 and May 2020. Age, operative time, and complications were recorded. Concerning the findings of the IIR, we classified the morphological features as follows: Type 1 (flat), Type 2 (narrow patent processus vaginalis [PPV] with a peritoneal veil), and Type 3 (widely opening PPV). Results: The median age of patients who underwent LPEC was 3 (1-12) years. Although 2 patients showed contralateral inguinal hernia (IH), there were no cases of ipsilateral IH. All patients showed ipsilateral PPV, and the morphological features of the IIR were mostly classified as Type 3 (70%). In total, 6 of 8 HCN cases without preoperatively diagnosed contralateral IH had contralateral PPV (75%), and all were closed by LPEC. All operations were accomplished laparoscopically, and the postoperative course was uncomplicated, with no recurrences observed during the study period. Conclusions: LPEC is a safe and simple surgical approach to repair the HCN in children with minimal complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate laparoscopic management of hydroceles in pediatrics, with evaluation of the internal inguinal ring (IIR) and the PPV (patent processus vaginalis) in different types of hydroceles, and the incidence of the contralateral PPV. METHODS The IIR and the type of hydrocele on the same side of 93 patients with 106 infantile hydroceles were evaluated and managed, in addition to contralateral side. RESULTS The IIR on same side was closed in 8.5% (Type I) and patent in 91.5% (Type II and III) with different shapes. Contralateral IIR was open in 88.7% of cases. The operative time was 30.99 ± 7.23 min, with no intra-operative complication. The vas deferens and testicular vessels were secured and there were no injuries or bleeding. The conversion rate was zero, and all procedures (Type II and II) were completed totally laparoscopic. No post-operative complications except a case of tense hydrocele developed scrotal edema that managed conservatively. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic hydrocelectomy is safe, applicable and feasible for management of different types of hydroceles in pediatrics. The IIR is patent in nearly all cases with/out communication to the hydrocele. The contralateral IIR can be managed in the same session. Laparoscopic hydrocelectomy with/out hydrocelectomy and IIR closure is essential in preventing recurrence.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the detection and ligation of patent processus vaginalis (PPV) between laparoscopy-assisted transscrotal orchidopexy (LATO) and single scrotal incision orchiopexy (SSIO) for low palpable undescended testis (UDT). We performed a retrospective medical record review of transscrotal orchidopexies performed for low palpable UDT at our institution from 2017 to 2019; 33 and 39 boys underwent LATO and SSIO, respectively. Data collection included patient demographics, incidence of PPV, operative time, and clinical outcomes. All 95 testes were delivered into the scrotum. There was no significant difference between the two groups with respect to patients' age, side, and mean operative time. The incidence of PPV in the LATO group was significantly higher than that in the SSIO group (56.52 vs. 34.69%, P = 0.04). The incidence of contralateral PPV in the LATO group was 45%. One patient in the SSIO group underwent unilateral PV ligation and laparoscopic exploration revealed bilateral PPV owing to metachronous contralateral hydrocele. One patient in the LATO group demonstrated obliterated PV in the initial transscrotal procedure, but an ipsilateral PPV was found in the latter laparoscopic procedure. In conclusion, LATO has a higher detection rate and higher ligation of the PPV than SSIO, suggesting that, LATO may help reduce recurrent PPV-related issues. However, long-term follow-up results are needed to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages in a larger case series.

Abstract
Background: Undescended testis (UDT) is one of the most common congenital genital malformations in boys. However, orchidopexy carries a risk of injuring the testicular vessels and vas deferens. We therefore developed a novel approach to manage palpable UDT. Materials and Methods: We analyzed the medical records of patients who underwent orchidopexy at our institute between January 2017 and April 2020. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of our hospital. The age, body weight, laterality, testicular position, length of operation, and complications were investigated. The patients were classified into two groups depending on the surgery received: laparoscopy-assisted transscrotal orchidopexy (LATO) or conventional inguinal orchidopexy (CO). In brief, LATO involves preceding laparoscopic closure of the patent processus vaginalis (PPV) followed by transscrotal orchidopexy. Dissection of the PPV from the testicular vessels and vas deferens was minimized through this procedure. The chi-squared test and t-test were used to analyze the significance of the data. Results: Among a total of 49 patients, 24 (33 testes) underwent LATO, and 25 (30 testes) underwent CO. There was no significant difference in patients' age, body weight, or laterality. The length of operation was similar between the groups in both unilateral and bilateral cases. The contralateral PPV was confirmed in 80% of unilateral cases of LATO (12/15). No complications, including testicular atrophy and postoperative ascent, were noted in either group. Conclusions: There were no significant differences between the groups in the surgical results. However, the confirmation and ligation of the PPV were easier in LATO, and peeling of the testicular vessels and vas deferens was minimized. LATO may be safe and effective for managing palpable UDT.

Abstract
Objective: To conduct a systematic review of the published studies concerning laparoscopic pediatric hydrocele (PH) repair and summarize the surgical details and operative outcomes of this procedure. Materials and Methods: A PubMed search was performed for all studies concerning laparoscopic repair of hydrocele in children. The search strategy was as follows: (laparoscop* OR coelioscop* OR peritoneoscop* OR laparoendoscop* OR minilaparoscop*) AND hydrocele* AND (child* OR pediatric*). Inclusion criteria included (1) children with hydrocele as the study participant; (2) laparoscopic PH repair as the main surgical procedure; and (3) operation time and complications as the outcomes of interest. Reviews, studies with insufficient information or reporting the outcomes of abdominoscrotal hydrocele, and duplicate patient series were excluded. Results: Overall, 20 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria of this review and 15 studies were included in the final analysis. These studies comprised at least 2920 patients undergoing laparoscopic repair for various PH subtypes, of which most were conducted in Asia. Most authors repaired PH laparoscopically through an extraperitoneal approach, while only a few studies applied a laparoscopic intraperitoneal method. The majority of the studies used nonabsorbable sutures to ligate hydrocele sac, while very few studies used absorbable materials. Hydrocele sac was resected or transected in only five studies, but left alone in the majority. Mean operation time was between 15.6 and 43.2 minutes for unilateral laparoscopic PH repair and between 16.9 and 53.2 minutes for bilateral surgery. Operative complications were not very common, with a highest recurrence/persistence incidence of 1.4%. Subgroup analysis showed that hydrocele subtype, surgical approach, suture material, and management of hydrocele sac did not significantly influence the operative complications. Conclusions: laparoscopic PH repair seems to be a safe and effective procedure. Given the limitations of this review, our conclusion needs to be confirmed by more well-designed studies.

Surg Endosc 2017; 31:5159-5165. [PMID: 28493163 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-017-5582-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2016] [Accepted: 05/02/2017] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to report clinical characteristics and to investigate the feasibility and safety of totally laparoscopic hydrocelectomy (TLH) compared to scrotal incision hydrocelectomy with laparoscopic high ligation (SIH) for pediatric cord hydrocele (CH). METHODS From September 2011 to February 2016, 148 patients underwent SIH, and 342 patients underwent TLH for CH. In the TLH group, a large hydrocele that could not pass through the internal ring was removed after percutaneous syringe aspiration. Age, laterality of hydrocele, inguinal comorbidities, operation time, surgical complications, and recurrences were evaluated. RESULTS All the patients had spermatic cord cysts and patent processus vaginalis in proximity to hydrocele (mixed type). The mean age of CH patients was 34.1 ± 22.1 months. CHs are more common on the right side (61.0%) than on the left (35.7%). Bilaterality occurred in 3.3%. Comorbidities such as hernia (8.6%) and cryptorchidism (1.2%) were observed. There were no complications except for two cases of wound hematoma in SIH group. There was one (0.7%) case of recurrence appeared in communicating hydrocele in SIH group. There were no significant differences in the age, laterality of hydrocele, inguinal comorbidities, operation time, complications, and recurrences between TLH and SIH groups. However, TLH for unilateral cord hydrocele had significantly shorter operation time compared to SIH. The mean operation time in TLH group was 15.6 ± 5.96 min and there was no conversion to open surgery. CONCLUSIONS TLH for pediatric CH is a feasible and safe procedure without additional incisions. Therefore, TLH can be one of the surgical options for pediatric CH especially in mixed type.
