  • Title: [The Lichtenstein inguinal hernia-plasty: a simple and complication-free technique, especially suited for ambulatory surgery].
    Author: Metzger J, Vogelbach P, Lutz N, Laidlaw I.
    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir Suppl Kongressbd; 1997; 114():603-6. PubMed ID: 9574219.
    Abstract:
    A consecutive series of 353 patients who underwent Lichtenstein mesh repair for inguinal hernia from the 1st of July 1994 to the 30th of July 1995 were studied. We analysed our indication, technique, complications, follow-up and outcome. Special consideration was given to the advantages and acceptance of day-case surgery. Our results suggest that the Lichtenstein repair should be considered as a new standard procedure, especially outside of hernia centres.
