Core Tip	The ligamentum teres uteri (LTU) is one of the main ligaments of the uterus and plays a crucial role in maintaining the anteverted uterine position. However, currently, the surgical method of ligating the LTU together with the hernia sac is mostly adopted intraoperatively for female patients with indirect inguinal hernia, which may cause LTU ligation-associated complications in some female children. This study revealed that LTU preservation intraoperatively does not increase hospital stay, blood loss, postoperative recurrence rate, or complications, which is safe and feasible, compared with conventional LTU ligation. Laparoscopic high hernial sac ligation with LTU preservation should be performed when conditions permit, which is worthy of popularization.
