In brief
This rabbit model study evaluates absorbable braided suture for laparoscopic high ligation in inguinal hernia repair. Results suggest a trend toward higher recurrence rates with absorbable suture compared to non-absorbable alternatives, warranting careful consideration before clinical implementation in pediatric laparoscopic hernia procedures.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
A trend toward a higher recurrence rate with the use of absorbable braided suture was present, although, in this study, the finding was not statistically significant. Caution should be used when considering implementation of absorbable suture for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.
