title: [Outpatient management, patient comfort and satisfaction of 100 consecutive inguinal hernias treated by Shouldice procedures with steel wire under local anesthesia].
abstract: This study evaluates postoperative patient comfort and satisfaction of 100 unilateral inguinal hernia repairs performed by Shouldice procedure with steel wire and local anesthesia. The day surgery management of 78% of patients, the low analgesic consumption, the resumption of normal activity after one week and a satisfaction index of nearly 100% are the main results of this study. The quality of these results is another argument confirming this technique as the "Gold Standard" of hernia repair.
