[Lichtenstein's technic in the repair of inguinal hernias].
Since the first true herniorrhaphy was performed by Bassini 100 years ago, all modifications and surgical techniques have shared a common disadvantages--suture line tension. This is the prime etiologic factor behind hernia recurrence. By using modern prosthetics mesh, it is now possible to repair all hernias without distortion of normal anatomy and with no suture line tension. The technique is simple, rapid, less painful, and effective; allowing prompt resumption of unrestricted physical activity.
