[Surgery of inguinal hernia: our experience].
The study is based on 848 patients that had surgery for inguinal hernia from January 1990 to May 1996. It compares the results obtained using the traditional plastic, called "direct suture", with the results of plastics with prosthesis. A special attention is given to tension-free techniques carried in local anesthesia, undoubtedly considered advantageous because of the technical simplicity in association with the total absence of postoperative complications and relapses, when correctly executed.
