title: [Inguinal hernia surgery in 1993 in Slovakia].
abstract: The authors present an account of a survey (by questionnaires) focused on surgery of inguinal hernias. The recovery rate of questionnaires was 84%. The standard techniques in surgery of child hernias are Gross (29%) and Girard (29%). In primary hernias more than 50% are made by Bassini's and Girard's plastic operation. So far the worldwide accepted plastic operation of Shouldice is rarely used 14%. In the techniques of relapsing hernias also inadequate plastic operations are used; the ratio of Lichtenstein's plastic operation which has the lowest relapse rate is only 4.5%.
