Laparoscopic modified percutaneous internal ring suturing - a mesh-free alternative for indirect inguinal hernia repair in adults. a pilot prospective cohort study

The study was published in the International Journal of Surgery.

The study used the modified percutaneous internal ring suturing technique to evaluate whether a laparoscopic non-mesh repair works on indirect inguinal hernias in adults.

There were 20 patients in the study.

The majority of patients were male.

No patients had hernia recurrence on follow-up, with a median follow-up of 79 months.

Patients reported a decrease in pain and an improved activity post-operatively.

This is a small single-center study.

The study shows success with the modified PIRS technique in adults.
