摘要

Purpose

This study evaluated comparative outcomes of percutaneous internal ring suturing technique (PIRS) performed with and without peritoneal cauterization in pediatric populations.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study analysed 270 pediatric patients (aged 3 months–12 years) who underwent PIRS. Patients were stratified into Group A (peritoneal cauterization, n = 130) and Group B (standard PIRS, n = 140). Operative duration, postoperative complications, pain scores, and recurrence rates with a minimum 6-month follow-up were assessed.

Results

Group A demonstrated significantly older mean age (5.71 ± 3.02 versus 4.93 ± 3.35 years, p = 0.047) and higher unilateral hernia prevalence (92.31% versus 64.29%, p < 0.001). Operative duration was prolonged in Group A (55 ± 16.48 versus 45.71 ± 8.9 min, p < 0.001). Age-dependent pain responses emerged: patients ≥ 7 years in Group A achieved superior analgesia (38.46% VAS 0/10 versus 21.43%, p < 0.001), while younger patients demonstrated better outcomes without cauterization. Group A exhibited no complications compared to minimal complications in Group B (4.28% total).

Conclusions

Peritoneal cauterization during PIRS demonstrates enhanced postoperative outcomes in older pediatric patients while maintaining safety profiles, supporting selective application based on patient age.
