Aim:
Lichtenstein's hernia repair (LHR) is presented as a technically feasible procedure for inguinal hernia.
Indication:
LHR is a standard procedure for open mesh techniques with very good postoperative results.
Method:
We demonstrate an LHR step by step with preservation of the iliohypogastricus and ilioinguinalis nerves.
Conclusion:
LHR is a technically feasible and safe procedure which should have a firm place in a general surgical education.
