Abstract:
Diagnostic peritoneoscopy can be used through 3-mm and 5-mm umbilical incisions for the evaluation of the contralateral inguinal region for children with a unilateral inguinal hernia and for the evaluation of boys with a nonpalpable testis. No complications have been noted in patients undergoing diagnostic laparoscopy, which affords an excellent chance to define a better management strategy for these patients.
