[Lichtenstein's hernioplasty].

Abstract

In recent years in Hungary similarly to the worldwide trend the treatment of inguinal hernias has changed. New tension-free methods were developed and--after the introduction by the Department of Surgery, Medical Faculty, University of Pécs--Lichtenstein's method is widely used. Lichtenstein's method has become the gold standard at our department because of its highly favourable results: simple technique, minimal postoperative pain, recurrence rate below 1%, short hospital stay, very low complication rate and early return to physical activity.
