title: [Local anesthesia in the surgery of inguinal hernia. Technical notes].
abstract: Routine use of local anaesthesia associated with tension-free hernioplasty in surgical treatment of inguinal hernia allows an immediate patient walking and prompt discharge from the hospital unit: with this technique 89 cases in two years were operated. The anaesthesia-related discomforts and complications are minimal. The addition of an intravenous sedative (propofol) premis to extend this approach to anxious patients too.
