Summary:The Lichtenstein inguinal hernioplasty in the original version or with small variations currently allows good results both from the surgical point of view and in terms of reduction of the sanitary expenses. "Tension free" repair and diffusion of local anesthesia allow a drastic reduction of the hospital stay, a early time of the working activity and the diffusion of the admission to the Day Hospital. The authors introduce the own casuistic that comprise 1116 inguinal hernioplasty in 1,034 patients and on the base of two studies, a retrospective one and another prospective, they conclude that a greater attention in the behavior of the intervention and a more accurate preparation of the patients represent fundamental moments to obtain even more satisfactory results.
