Images of single-port laparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal closure with double-modified hernia needles and water injection apparatus. (A) The double two-hooked hernia needles and trocha position diagram (B) one needle enters the abdominal cavity around the lateral side of the hernia ring and passes between the peritoneum and the vas deferens,the other hernia needle was used to clamp the lateral side of the spermatic cord and acted as an auxiliary clamp to stretch it flat. (C) The hernia needle hooks the preset silk thread and takes it out of the abdominal cavity. (D) The thread is tightened and tied under the skin to close hernia ring.
