Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and laparoscopic strategy of female inguinal hernia with cyst of round ligament of uterus. Methods The clinical data of 63 female patients of inguinal hernia with cyst of round ligament of uterus as cyst group admitted to our Department of Surgery, from January 2001 to December 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients in cyst group were compared to contemporaneous 412 female patients of inguinal hernia without cyst as non-cyst group. Results The majority female patients of inguinal hernia with cyst of round ligament of uterus were youth with 87.3% of indirect hernia. There were 93.7% transabdominal preperitoneal(TAPP) repaire more than 6.3% total extraperitoneal repaire. The preservation rate of round ligament of uterus was 34.9% in cyst group and 46.4% in non-cyst group without significant difference statistically (P=0.086). However, the preservation rate of round li-gament of uterine of patients younger than 45 years in cyst group (47.1%) was les
