Purpose One of the most important measures of success of open inguinal herniorrhaphy is
the incidence of recurrence. Reports suggest that up to 13% of all inguinal hernia repairs …

Purpose Recurrence after laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy is poorly understood.
Reports suggest that up to 13% of all inguinal herniorrhaphies worldwide, irrespective of the …

Background The present single-institution, single-surgeon experience interrogated morbidity
as well as predictors of inguinodynia, recurrence, and metachronous hernias in 953 …

Objective To study the long-term recurrence rate and other complications after conventional
and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Summary Background Data Reliable long-term …

Background The aim of this prospective randomized multicenter trial was to evaluate the
recurrence rates and complications of open versus laparoscopic repairs of inguinal hernias …

Despite all the progress made in inguinal hernia surgery driven by the development of
meshes and laparoendoscopic operative techniques, the proportion of recurrent inguinal …

Introduction Laparoscopic (LHR) and open (OHR) inguinal hernia repairs are both used to
treat primary herniae. This study analyses the rates of operation for recurrence after …

BACKGROUND: Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) reflect the functional outcomes of
inguinal herniorrhaphy. We studied the effect of hernia recurrence and complications on …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy
represents a viable alternative to the conventional repair and to assess whether a …

Because laparoscopic surgical techniques have been applied to inguinal hernia repair, the
surgeon has been forced to re-evaluate his particular open technique and its resultant …
