title: [106 inguinal hernias treated under local anesthesia].
abstract: About two series of inguinal hernia, 106 operated under local anesthesia and 100 operated under general anesthesia, the authors reviewed retrospectively the local and general complications and the immediate and long-term results (1 year). The authors observed the same results in both groups; they conclude that local anesthesia can be considered as the first choice procedure in the treatment of uncomplicated hernia of high risk and geriatric patients.
