“…Only a few of these studies report clearly on how the diagnosis of recurrence was made [8], or on the exact proportion of the patients followed up by physical examination [22]. Others do not provide the required information at all [9,14,18] or else use the reoperation rate as an outcome measure [2]. In our study, the vast majority of patients were examined by a surgeon (81%), and the recurrence rate was deduced from examined patients only.…”

“…15,19 Taking into the consideration the characteristics of the recurrent inguinal hernia, it is important to emphasize that the correction of this disorder should be done by an experienced hernia surgeon who will take into consideration the specific features of each individual patient and who will make a decision regarding which type of surgical intervention should be chosen in each specific case according to the patient's characteristics (age, comorbidities, and other risk factors, especially those related to anesthesia, physical activity, etc). [6][7][8]11,17 It is apparent that in all cases of hernioplasty, meshes must be used.…”

The aim of our study was the comparative analysis of the results of two surgical methods: tension-free repair by the Lichtenstein technique and laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair. In total 52 patients with recurrent inguinal hernia were randomly assigned to the two groups: Lichtenstein (28 patients) and TAPP (24 patients). Comparisons between these groups were done by several preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors. For postoperative factors both short-term and long-term results were considered. Average operation time for Lichtenstein group was 59.6 ± 9.9 minutes, compared with 64.4 ± 8.4 minutes for TAPP patients (P = 0.068). In TAPP patients there was less pain in the postoperative period (P = 0.002) and fewer sick-leave days (13.4 ± 1.7 versus 17.5 ± 2.6 days; P , 0.001) and, correspondingly, faster recovery. In the Lichtenstein group a total of 4 postoperative complications (infection, hematoma, seroma, urinary retention) were observed, compared with 8 in the TAPP group (P = 0.19). Statistically significant difference was only by urinary retention (0 for Lichtenstein, 4 for TAPP; P = 0.039). There were no cases of hernia recurrence observed during the followup. Chronic pain developed in 5 patients from the Lichtenstein group (17.9%) and 2

Inguinal hernia is the commonest surgical operation. This is a large study from a district general hospital. The study spanned over 2 years with 2 further years of follow up. It is a retrospective analysis of eight hundred and seventy seven (877)inguinal hernia operations performed in a district general hospital. The following factors were looked at: type of repair, grade of surgeon performing the procedure and outcome of various repairs. The results showed that the most common technique was the Lichenstein's repair(58%). Recurrence rates were between 0.4%-30% depending on types of hernia repair.
