Core Tip

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.
