title: [Contemporary surgical interventions and technologies in inguinal hernia].
abstract: The aim of the study was the wide-scale implementation of the Sholdais's operation and retinal prosthesis on the territory of Georgia and the countries of the former Soviet Union instead of conventional methods characterized by the high rate of complications. For the treatment of primary hernia in most of cases we were using classical, or more frequently modified Sholdais's method. Operation by Likhtenshtein corresponds to all demands of hernioplastics and it should be implemented as the predominant method in nonspecialized surgical clinics. For elderly patients with wide inguinal space modified Wilky's operation is proposed. In this case the tissue stretching is totally excluded from the procedure.
