title: [Extraperitoneal, "tension free" inguinal hernia repair with local anesthesia--a contribution to effectiveness and economy].
abstract: In this present randomized controlled study, two groups, each consisting of 45 patients, underwent tension-free inguinal hernia repair under general versus local anesthesia. Patients in the local anesthesia group described their pain during mobilisation by using the VAS and were found to have a significant pain level decrease from the first to the fifth postoperative day. In conclusion, it could be shown that tension-free hernia repair under local anesthesia is superior to tension-free hernia repair during general anesthesia concerning perception of pain and pain management.
