[Laparoscopic treatment of inguinal hernia. Evaluation of postoperative pain. Strait pre-peritoneal approach vs Shouldice operation (124 cases)].
In a prospective controlled trial comparing postoperative course, laparoscopic hernia repair totally pre-peritoneal approach appears significatively painless and more comfortable than Shouldice operation. Three criterions were used: pain questionnaire, visual scale, and antalgic use, during three days. These results partially explain a shorter delay to return to work (12 vs 31 days) after "laparoscopic treatment".
