Seroma formation is one of the important postoperative problems in inguinal hernia surgery, especially after scrotal hernia surgery. The present study aimed to present primarily the incidence of seroma after reduction and transection of the hernia sac in endo-laparoscopic scrotal hernia repair, and secondarily the results of early postoperative complications. Patients were divided into two groups TAPP and TEP. These groups were also divided into transection and reduction subgroups. In the reduction group, the hernia sac was completely dissected and pulled to the peritoneal area, while in the transection group, the neck of the hernia sac was cut by ligating, and its distal part was fixed to the posterior abdominal wall. The groups were compared, and data were analyzed. The reduction was performed in 13 (43.33%) of the 30 patients included in the study, and transection in 17 (56.67%). Seroma developed in 2 (15.38%) of the reduction group and 7 (41.18%) of the transection group. There was no statistical difference between the groups (p = 0.229). Cord and testicular complications were seen in 6 (20%) patients, 5 (38.46%) in the reduction group, and 1 (5.88%) in the transection group. No statistical difference was detected between the groups (p = 0.061). Although not statistically significant, seroma was more common in transection, while cord and testicular complications were more common in reduction. If dissection of the hernia sac is difficult, the complete reduction should not be insisted on, and the neck of the sac should be transection by ligating, and its distal part should be fixed to the posterior abdominal wall.
