[Lychtenstein's hernioplasty in inguinal hernmias].
The choice of plastic treatment of inguinal hernias is stile a problem. The rate of relapses in conventional methods of hernioplasty averages 8%. The commonest complications are nerves' injuries and damage to the arterial and venous vessels of the spermatic cord. The hope for the decrease of complications rate is based on implementation of "unstretched" surgery. The rate of relapses after endoscopical hernioplasties varies from 0.8% after transabdominal preperitoneal hernioplasty to 3.2%--after intraperitoneal one. Laparoscopic methods for hernioplasty are technically complicated and expensive. The authors used Lychtenstein's hernioplasty as an alternative to laparoscopic hernioplasty methods. The technique is described according to which 76 operations were carried out. The method is much easier than laparoscopical one. The course of the early postoperative period is comparable with that one after laparoscopical operations. It is stressed that Lychtenstein's hernioplasty should be considered as a method of choice in majority of patients with inguinal hernias.
