| dc.description.abstract | PURPOSE: We aimed to test the feasibility and reliability of ultrasound-guided percutaneous internal inguinal ring suture in rabbits, as a model for inguinal hernia repair in pediatric population. METHODS: Twenty-eight rabbits were divided in 2 groups: group I (female morphology) - persistence of the peritoneal-vaginal duct with gonads placed in intraperitoneal position; group II (male morphology) - persistence of the peritoneal-vaginal duct with gonads kept intact inside the duct. Under exclusive ultrasound-guided image we tried to perform a complete pre-peritoneal ligation of the peritoneal-vaginal duct at the level of the internal inguinal ring using a 20G peripheral IV catheter and 2-0 non-absorbable suture. Afterwards, an exploratory laparoscopy was performed to evaluate the ligation. RESULTS: Ultrasound allowed characterization of inguinal-crural structures. Group I - complete and reliable suture 66.7%, incomplete but reliable suture 16.7%, inappropriate ligation 16.7%; group II - complete but unreliable suture 76.9%, incomplete and unreliable suture 11.5%, inappropriate suture 11.5%. No acute complications were logged. Percutaneous dissection and ligation of internal inguinal ring through exclusive ultrasound guidance was feasible and likely reliable, namely for female inguinal hernia repair | pt_PT |
