The Lichtenstein open tension-free hernioplasty.
In the department of general surgery, in Szolnok MAV General Hospital the authors performed 51 open tension-free herniorrhaphies by Lichtenstein method between 1st July 1995 and 31st December 1996. According to this method the rings are closed anteriorly with Dacron mesh. The method is simple and rapid, less painful than any other technique. Apart from two minor complications, our patients recovered without any problem. The method helps to reduce the period of hospital treatment as well as that of sick-leave.
