The pediatric surgery team from the Clinic for Children’s Diseases has recently performed percutaneous internal ring suturing, the PIRS, a simple minimally invasive technique for inguinal hernia repair in children.
On the occasion Ass. Prof. Edin Husarić, pediatric surgeon and head of the Clinic for Children’s Diseases explained that the advantages of using the PIRS are a smaller surgical incisions, better visualization of the peritoneal cavity that allows for detection of other abnormalities within the abdomen, shorter surgery and recovery times.
So far, our dedicated pediatric surgery team has performed 15 PIRS surgeries that were uneventful.
