  • Title: [Outpatient management, patient comfort and satisfaction of 100 consecutive inguinal hernias treated by Shouldice procedures with steel wire under local anesthesia].
    Author: Félix P, Ventadoux Y, Guérineau JM.
    Journal: Ann Chir; 1999; 53(5):387-96. PubMed ID: 10389328.
    Abstract:
    This study evaluates postoperative patient comfort and satisfaction of 100 unilateral inguinal hernia repairs performed by Shouldice procedure with steel wire and local anesthesia. The day surgery management of 78% of patients, the low analgesic consumption, the resumption of normal activity after one week and a satisfaction index of nearly 100% are the main results of this study. The quality of these results is another argument confirming this technique as the "Gold Standard" of hernia repair.
