BACKGROUND Chronic postoperative pain is a major drawback of inguinal hernia repair. This study compared the frequency of chronic pain after laparoscopic (totally extraperitoneal patch, TEP) and open (Lichtenstein) repairs. METHODS A randomized multicentre study with 5 years' follow-up was conducted on men with a primary inguinal hernia. Chronic pain was categorized as mild, moderate or sever...

Background: To compare the effectiveness of the two different methods of inguinal hernia repairs viz. The Lichtenstein hernioplasty and Rutkow-Robbins method of hernioplasty. To compare the results of these two techniques and complications if any, and to arrive at a conclusion as to the better modality of treatment in the present setup. Methods: Total 50 patients of uncomplicated direct and ind...

BACKGROUND Inguinal hernia is one of the most common pathologies in the surgical setting. The introduction of the Lichtenstein technique in 1989 (tension-free hernioplasty with polypropylene mesh) represented one of the most significant breakthroughs in the treatment of this condition since Bassini's hernia repair. The aim of this study was to know the most significant predictive variables of c...

To assess the feasibility and safety of open tension-free mesh repair (Lichtenstein operation) of inguinal hernias on ambulatory surgery basis. A prospective study of the Lichtenstein operation on 64 patients of inguinal hernias who were operated the authors and surgical trainees at Unit III, Department of General Surgery at National Academy of Medical Sciences (NAMS), Nepal from April 13, 2004...

The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes following sutureless ProGrip™ mesh repair to traditional Lichtenstein repair with polypropylene mesh secured with sutures. Data were collected prospectively and were analyzed for 57 male and 3 female patients with 60 inguinal hernias. All patients included underwent open surgical repair for inguinal hernia with polypropylene mesh or Pro...

Summary. One of the indicators choosing a method inguinal hernia repair is intensity pain syndrome. Intense postoperative causes discomfort in patient, prolongs period physical rehabilitation and patient’s stay hospital.
 The aim study. To evaluate syndrome patients who used different methods repair: Lichtenstein, TAPP TEP.
 Research materials methods. We performed 211 patients. Licht...
