The central result was a significantly lower postoperative wound infection rate in the laparoscopic group (1.1%) compared to the open group (15.1%, P=0.0007). Other outcomes, including recurrence, postoperative pain, and haematoma/seroma formation, were comparable between the groups. The study's limitations include its retrospective design, potential selection bias, lack of standardized surgical techniques, a relatively short one-year follow-up, and a small sample size from a single institution.
