Risks of laparoscopic surgery for pediatric hernia

The potential risks of pediatric hernia laparoscopic surgery generally include possible bleeding. This is mainly because carbon dioxide gas is used during laparoscopy to inflate the abdomen, and improper operation may lead to subcutaneous emphysema and elevated partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood. Laparoscopic surgery may also cause lower limb thrombosis, as the procedure might injure organs within the abdominal cavity.
