[Inguinal hernioplasty: current trends].
The Authors report their experience in the surgical management of 282 inguinal hernias classified according to Gilbert's classification. The different techniques used were compared analysing the results obtained in 104 patients operated with the Bassini hernioplasty, while in 120 cases the Lichteinstein tension-free repair and in 58 cases the Shouldice hernioplasty were performed. In the patients operated according to the Lichteinstein tension-free technique an Autosuture mesh was used. The Authors conclude that the Lichteinstein tension-free repair is preferable, not simply for the incidence, although low in this series, of recurrence observed with the Bassini hernioplasty, but particularly for the reduced postoperative pain, the fast return to full activities, the low cost, and the possibility to be performed in Day-Hospital.
