title: [Fibrin sealant in tension free hernioplasty: our experience].
abstract: The aim of this study was to prove that it is possible to fix mesh sutureless with Tissucol in the Lichtenstein procedure. The mesh fixation with Tissucol was done in 28 patients. Respect the traditional Lichtenstein technique, which was done in the remaining 28 patients, the advantages of using Tissucol are: no surgical trauma, total mesh fixation, no pain, reduced morbidity and reduced costs. Furthermore it is a safe and reproducible method. The results are promising, even if the verification goes more carried out with consisting casuistics and longer follow-up.
