title: [Results of surgical treatment of inguinal hernia in patients of various age].
abstract: Results of surgical treatment of 1220 patients, suffering inguinal hernia, were analyzed. Among the patients there were 810 ageing more than 60 yrs old (main group), from 40 to 59 yrs--410 (control group). There was established, that in patients older than 60 yrs, due to presence of age-related atrophic-dystrophic changes in the inguinal channel muscles, the disease recurrence rate is more than in younger patients. That is why in the inguinal channel hernioplasty the priority must be on the side of alloplastic methods with application of miniinvasive and endoscopic procedures. There was not trustworthy difference between the groups of patients for the rate of intraoperative and early postoperative complications.
