Abstract
Tearing of hernial sac during giant inguinal hernia repair or orchiopexy presents a challenge to the pediatric surgeons, even in expert hands. We here describe a technique that is easy for performing high ligation in cases complicated with torn hernial sac. The steps of our incision technique is: Non-separated part was tightened with the help of forceps localized at the lateral aspects of teared sac. The incision to the sac was fashioned by scalpel No 15, while taking care to avoid injury to the underlying testicular vessels and vas deferens. Then, wound edges of the proximal hernia sac were moved forward by using fine tissue forceps and scalpel. The walls of proximal sac were totally grasped in one forceps and dissected gently from the remaining adhesions and cremasteric fibers up to the level of the internal ring. The mean age of the patients was 13.9±18.1 months (range 3 weeks-7 years). The diagnosis of the patients was inguinal hernia in 17 (63%) and undescended testis in 10 (37%). Seven (25,9%) of the patients had a large inguinal hernia sac. There were no intraoperative and postoperative complications. This is a safe and effective technique in patients complicated with torn hernial sac during herniotomy. It reduces the risk of further tearing of hernial sac. Short duration is another advantage. This technique can also be performed with using surgical loupe or microscope to care not to damage the vas and vessels.

Abstract
Dev inguinal herni onarımı veya orşiopeksi sırasında yırtılan fıtık kesesinin onarımı, uzman ellerde bile büyük zorluk oluşturur. Burada, fıtık kesesinin yırtılması ile karşılaşılan vakalarda yüksek ligasyon yapmayı kolaylaştıran bir tekniği sunmayı amaçladık. İnsizyon tekniğimizin adımları şöyledir: Kesenin lateralindeki yırtılmış kenarlar forseps yardımıyla tutularak, yırtık olmayan kısım gerdirilir. 15 no bistüri kullanılarak keseye insizyon yapılırken altındaki testiküler damarlar ve vas deferens'in yaralanmamasına dikkat edilir. Daha sonra ince doku forsepsi ve bistüri kullanılarak insizyonun proksimalindeki kese kenarları iç ringe doğru itilir ve kaldırılır. Proksimal kesenin tüm duvarları tek bir forseps içinde tutulur ve iç halka seviyesine kadar kremasterik liflerden ve kalan yapışıklıklardan nazikçe disseke edilir. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 13.9±18.1ay (aralık, 3 Hafta-7 yıl) idi. On yedi (%63) hasta inguinal herni ve 10 hasta (%37) inmemiş testis tanısı ile operasyona alınmıştı. Hastaların 7 (%25.9) tanesinde büyük kasık fıtığı kesesi mevcuttu. İntraoperatif ve postoperatif komplikasyon görülmedi. Bu yöntem, herniotomi sırasında fıtık kesesi yırtılan hastalarda kesenin daha fazla yırtılma riskini azaltan ve ameliyat süresini kısaltan güvenli ve etkili bir teknik olup vas deferens ve damarlara zarar vermemek için cerrahi büyüteç veya mikroskop kullanılarak da uygulanabilir.
