BACKGROUND: Sliding indirect inguinal hernias containing ovary are not uncommon in girls. We reported our experience with laparoscopic treatment of inguinal ovarian hernias in female infants and children with the aim to standardize the surgical technique.
METHODS: The medical records of all girls who underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in our unit over the past 5 years were retrospectively reviewed. Only patients with an ovary found intraoperatively in the hernia sac were included in the study. All patients younger than 1 year received preoperatively a bowel preparation with simethicone and enemas.
RESULTS: A total of 289 girls (median age 3.2 ± 0.5 years) underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair during the study period. Thirty-seven patients (12.8%) had an ovarian hernia and were included in the study. Of these 37 girls, 9 (28.1%) were younger than 1 month, 20 (62.5%) ranged in age from 2 months to 1 year, and 3 (9.4%) were from 1 to 7 years. The average operative time was 23.7 minutes (range 18-43 minutes). No necrotic ovary was found intraoperatively, and all the procedures were accomplished laparoscopically. Neither intraoperative nor postoperative complications were reported. A patency of the contralateral canal of Nuck was found in 16 of the 37 patients (43.2%) and repaired during the same procedure. The average length of hospitalization was 21.8 hours (range 18-36 hours). No hernia recurrence or ovarian atrophy was recorded at a mean follow-up of 36 months (range 1-60 months).
CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of our experience, laparoscopy should be considered the gold standard for the treatment of inguinal ovarian hernias in girls. Key points for standardization of the technique are as follows: bowel preparation in children younger than 1 year, use of 5-mm umbilical balloon trocar, correct positioning of 3-mm working screw trocars, section of the abnormal attachment of ovarian suspensory ligament, section of the periorificial peritoneum, and use of nonresorbable sutures.
