Objective:

To investigate the novel technique of a laparoscopic percutaneous guide wire for extraperitoneal closure (LPEC) of a patent processus vaginalis (PPV) of hydrocele in the pediatric age population.

Key Findings:
  • 387 patients aged 2.33 to 9.50 years were included.
  • 65.6% had unilateral hydrocele and 34.4% had bilateral hydrocele.
  • The rate of occult contralateral hydrocele was 30.6%.
  • Median operative time was 18.6 min for unilateral and 27.3 min for bilateral hydrocele.
  • No major complications were reported; minor issues included early postoperative pain (n = 5) and scrotal edema (n = 2).
Interpretation:

Remove unsupported claims about safety and efficacy.

Limitations:
  • The study was a descriptive case series without a control group.
Conclusion:

Rephrase to avoid unsupported conclusions.
