[Shouldice steel wire repair and under local anesthesia: prospective evaluation of postoperative comfort].
This study evaluates postoperative comfort of patients who have undergone inguinal hernia operations by Shouldice technique. The low analgesic consumption, the out patient management of 77% of patients, the resumption of normal activity after one week and a satisfaction index of nearly 100%, are the main results of this study. For the authors, this comfort is another argument in favour of the use of this technique.
