Letter to the Editor Regarding " Pediatric Inguinal Hernia Repair with Laparoscopy (PIHRL)-trial: A multicenter study comparing extra-corporeal Percutaneous Internal Ring Suture (PIRS) and intracorporeal purse-string suture for inguinal hernia": The Signi

We read with great interest the article by Eurlings et al., " Pediatric Inguinal Hernia Repair with Laparoscopy (PIHRL)-trial: A multicenter study comparing extra-corporeal Percutaneous Internal Ring Suture (PIRS) and intracorporeal purse-string suture for inguinal hernia" and find it to be a commendable and valuable contribution to the pediatric surgical literature (1). As the first multicenter, prospective study comparing extra-corporeal PIRS with intra-corporeal LIHR, it provides much-needed data on a common procedure.
