Abstract
The single-port laparoscopic hernia needle technique is gaining attention in the treatment of pediatric inguinal hernias due to its unique advantages. This editorial highlights the superiority and challenges of single-port laparoscopic hernia needles in the treatment of inguinal hernias in children. We hope that the study by Wang et al and this editorial will draw the attention of more physicians to the single-port laparoscopic hernia needle technique and promote its widespread use in the treatment of pediatric inguinal hernias.
Core Tip: A study by Wang et al confirmed that the single-incision laparoscopic hernia pin technique for the treatment of pediatric inguinal hernias is associated with significantly less intraoperative bleeding, minimal trauma, and aesthetic outcomes compared to traditional approaches. By highlighting its multiple core values of trauma control and aesthetic design, this editorial makes it clear that despite the challenges of clinical dissemination, this technique will remain a state-of-the-art option for pediatric hernia repair.
