Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Hernia Repair Techniques
  • Ambulatory Surgery

Background:

  • The Lichtenstein hernia repair is a widely preferred surgical method due to its low recurrence rates and short operation times.
  • This technique can be performed under local anesthesia, making it suitable for outpatient settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of same-day discharge for patients undergoing Lichtenstein hernia repair.
  • To identify factors contributing to delayed discharge and hospital readmission.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study included 100 patients with unilateral inguinal or femoral hernias treated with Lichtenstein mesh repair under local anesthesia.
  • Data collected included hernia type/location, surgery duration, surgeon seniority, ASA risk scores, and postoperative complications.

Main Results:

  • Same-day surgery under local anesthesia resulted in very low rates of pain and postoperative complications.
  • Patients experienced reduced hospital stays and earlier mobilization.

Conclusions:

  • Lichtenstein hernia repair under local anesthesia is a safe, effective, and cost-effective procedure.
  • This method minimizes anesthesia-related complications and shortens hospital stays, making it applicable to all patients.
