The aim of these study was to compare classical procedures in inguinal hernia repair (Postemski, Kimbarovski, Bassini, McVay) made in the Second Surgery Department of County Clinical Emergency Hospital Oradea with the operations in which was used the Lichtenstein technique in the same department, in a period of two years, with respect to recurrence rate, technical difficulty, convalescence and chronic pain.
Material And Methods:
217 operations were performed in classic way or using the Lichtenstein technique. Follow was performed at 1 month, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery with a compliance of 80%.
Results:
There was no significant difference in operating time between classic operations and tension free operations. The recurrence rates were significantly lower in the group operated by the Lichtenstein technique. The chronic pain was reported in both groups as mild or moderate.
Conclusions:
Lichtenstein hernia repair was easy to learn took the same time and resulted in fewer recurrences. It is possible to be used successfully in a general surgical unit.
