Abstract

Patent processus vaginalis is a common condition in children. Treatment using laparoscopic percutaneous closure processus vaginalis with Dormia basket support has many advantages and reduces costs compared to using specialized needles. This study assessed the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic percutaneous closure processus vaginalis with Dormia basket support among 50 children who were operated with this procedure. The average age of the children was 6.5 ± 7.7 years old. The average surgery time was 30.2 ± 15.6 minutes, with 23.2 ± 13.7 minutes in one-side cases and 31.7 ± 14.8 minutes in two-side cases. After the surgery, the patient could sit up and move in bed after 5.7 ± 1.0 hours and walk slowly around the room after 13.1 ± 1.9 hour. The average hospital stays were 26.4 ± 12.8 hours. We followed up with the patients after 3 and 6 months of surgery, and all cases achieved good results. No complication or recurrence was detected. Those results indicated that the laparoscopic percutaneous closure of processus vaginalis with Dormia basket support is an effective, safe, minimally invasive, aesthetic and easy to perform technique.
