Contralateral inguinal exploration in an infant with a symptomatic unilateral hernia is controversial. A patent processus vaginalis (PPV) may be found in up to 60% of term infants, and even in a greater number of preterm infants. However, only 10% to 30% of children will subsequently develop a contralateral hernia when only the symptomatic side is repaired. Standard contralateral laparoscopic inguinal exploration (CLIE) usually is performed through the ipsilateral groin with an angled scope or through the umbilicus with a 0 degrees scope. A significant number of children have a peritoneal veil shrouding the internal ring. To enhance the accuracy of contralateral groin exploration, we have used a laparoscopic technique of directly visualizing the internal ring through a lateral abdominal approach.
