Internal orifice narrowing achieved by suturing the distal hernia sac in laparoscopic repair of inguinoscrotal hernias significantly reduces the incidence and volume of seroma formation. A double-blind randomized controlled trial with 58 patients showed a lower seroma incidence at 7 days and reduced seroma volume on postoperative day 7 in the experimental group. Neither chronic pain nor early recurrence were observed in either group, and no other postoperative complications occurred during the follow-up period of 6-18 months.
