Purpose <p>Incarcerated inguinal hernia (IIH) is a common pediatric surgical emergency that remains challenging, even for experienced surgeons. We hereby present our experience with laparoscopic repair of IIH in pediatric patients, evaluating its efficacy, safety, and postoperative outcomes in managing the condition.</p> Methods <p>A total of 37 pediatric patients with IIH who had failed manual reduction underwent immediate laparoscopic repair between January 2019 and May 2024. Following successful hernia reduction, the viability of the reduced contents and patency of the contralateral deep inguinal ring was evaluated laparoscopically. The hernia orifice was then closed circumferentially using a purse-string technique with non-absorbable polypropylene sutures.</p> Results <p>Out of 37 children with IIH who underwent laparoscopic repair, 27 were males and 10 females, with a median age of 18 months. Twenty-five had right-sided and 12 left-sided hernias. Manual reduction was sufficient in 22 (60%) after insufflation; 15 (40%) required laparoscopic-assisted reduction. Contralateral patent processus vaginalis (PPV) was detected and repaired simultaneously in 7 children. The median operative time was 40 min (range: 25–115 min), with no intraoperative complications. Postoperative issues included one port site infection (2.7%) and one mild ipsilateral hydrocele (2.7%), both resolved conservatively. No hernia recurrence or testicular atrophy occurred during the 12–36 month follow-up period.</p> Conclusion <p>The laparoscopic approach to IIH is safe, feasible, and potentially more straightforward than the traditional inguinal method. It avoids dissecting edematous tissues, allows magnified visualization for hernia reduction and viability assessment, and enables simultaneous repair of a contralateral PPV, reducing the need for future surgeries in children.</p>
