Area of Science:

  • Surgical innovation in general surgery.
  • Minimally invasive surgical techniques.

Context:

  • Hernia repair in Switzerland traditionally involves prolonged hospitalization.
  • Patient expectations and insurance policies favor inpatient care.
  • The mean length of hospital stay for hernia repair was 8.7 days in 1990.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of ambulatory surgery for inguinal hernia repair.
  • To assess the impact of transversalis fascia repair and immediate ambulation on hospital stay duration.

Summary:

  • A five-year experience with transversalis fascia repair for uncomplicated unilateral hernias is presented.
  • 530 patients underwent surgery, with a mean hospital stay of 4.4 days.
  • Local anesthesia was used in 446 cases, with two-thirds discharged by postoperative day two.
