Laparoscopic Excision of Large Intra-Abdominal Cysts in Children: Needle Hitch Technique

Abstract EN

Laparoscopic surgery has both diagnostic and therapeutic advantages in the management of intra-abdominal cysts in children.

Large cysts in small children pose technical challenges during laparoscopic surgery, requiring multiple incisions and advanced laparoscopic skills.

This paper describes a novel laparoscopic technique using minimal manipulation for both aspiration and excision of the cyst.

This simple, safe, and effective approach was used to achieve traction and facilitate excision of a large intra-abdominal cyst in a neonate and a young child.
