First one with correct answer with justification win. [size=20px]You see an otherwise healthy one-year old with a reducible right inguinal hernia and the family asks about laparoscopic hernia repair. An advantage of a laparoscopic hernia repair compared to an open inguinal hernia repair in this patient would be that the laparoscopic repair A has a lower risk of wound infection. B causes less postoperative pain. C has a lower risk of hernia recurrence. D has a shorter operative time. E is associated with a quicker return to normal activities.[/size]
