BACKGROUND Lichtenstein's technique is considered the reference technique for inguinal hernia repair. Recent trials suggest that the totally extraperitoneal (TEP) technique may lead to reduced proportions of chronic pain. A systematic review evaluating the benefits and harms of the TEP compared with Lichtenstein's technique is needed. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The review was performed ac...

BACKGROUND Open mesh used in anterior inguinal hernia repair can be configured as a flat patch (Lichtenstein operation) or as a cone-shaped preformed plug and supplementary patch (plug-and-patch operation; Perfix Plug; Davol Inc, Cranston, RI). METHODS One hundred forty-one patients were randomly allocated and blinded to receive either a Lichtenstein patch or a Perfix plug-and-patch. Informat...

Background: Current study was performed to compare the short-term surgical outcome of laparoscopic (TAPP) and open inguinal hernia mesh hernioplasty (Lichtenstein) in primary unilateral hernias such as time taken by patients return routine daily activities work. Methods: This is a prospective, comparative done Apollo Main Hospital, Chennai comparing outcomes between repair total 60 with 30 each...

Introduction. Modern surgical approaches to inguinal hernia repair are laparoscopic (TAPP and TEP) open (Lichtenstein procedure), which based on prolene mesh prosthetics. Despite the widespread use of these methods in practice, frequency typical postoperative complications: hematoma scrotum region, false recurrence, paresthesias, neuralgia, etc.
 Aim. To compare TAPP, TEP, Lichtenstein ana...

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a rare bone disorder in which the affected replaced by abnormal scar-like(fibrous) connective tissue. This fibrous tissue makes weak, abnormally fragile and proneto fracture. Pain may occur areas. condition was first described 1942 Lichtenstein andJaffe, also referred as Lichtenstein-Jaffe disease. Anyone can have FD it be diagnosed at any age. FDcan affect one (known ...

BACKGROUNDS Current open mesh techniques for inguinal hernia repair have shown similar recurrence rates. However, chronic pain has been associated with Lichtenstein mesh repair, the most common surgical procedure for inguinal hernia in the UK. The position of the mesh is probably an important factor. The Lichtenstein method requires dissection of the inguinal wall and fixation of the mesh. In c...

Recurrences have been a significant problem following hernia repair. The purpose of this study was to present our experience of Lichtenstein tension-free repair of inguinal hernia. In this retrospective study, 223 inguinal hernia repairs were performed between September 2000 and August 2003 in 203 patients, using a polypropylene mesh. The main outcome measure was early and late complications an...

Abstract Aim Minimally invasive inguinal hernia repair is thought to be associated with fewer complications. To address this hypothesis, we compared short- and long-term complications in patients undergoing elective open (Lichtenstein), laparoscopic (TAPP) robot-assisted (rTAPP). Material & Methods Patients either, Lichtenstein, TAPP or rTAPP at our institution between January 1st 2017 Dece...

Summary. Introduction. The inguinal hernia is one of the most common surgical problems around world. Patients with large and hernias are a certain group. At present, there no final convincing evidence advantage laparoscopic repair complex forms hernias, indications contraindications to various methods this operation, technology performing interventions for types has not been completed.
