Abstract
Herniotomy is performed for the surgical repair of hernia and along with orchiopexy for the closure of associated patent processus vaginalis. Ligation of the hernial sac has been considered mandatory for a successful repair. The present report was designed to study the results of non-ligation of the hernial sac before excision at the neck. It was found that non-ligation has no untoward effect on early complications and recurrence rate on long-term follow-up. It is suggested that it is not necessary to ligate the hernial sac during herniotomy in children.Entities:
