title: [Surgical treatment of inguinal hernias with local anesthesia].
abstract: Eighty-four cases of inguinal hernioplasty by Bassini's modified technique were performed using 1% lidocaine in regional infiltration block. The report analyzes the use of local anesthesia in the treatment of inguinal hernias. All patients had small reducible and non-recurrent inguinal hernia. Twenty-six compensated high risk patients were operated in the hospital and dismissed in the second post-operative day, whereas the others were operated as outpatients and dismissed two hours after the surgical procedure. The rate of complication was low, but pain was a common complaint. In general, there was a good acceptance of this kind of anesthesia. The authors concluded that local anesthesia is a valuable method for the treatment of inguinal hernia.
