Abstract Background Following Lichtenstein hernia repair, up to 25% of patients experience
prolonged postoperative and chronic pain as well as discomfort in the groin. One of the …

Background Pain is the most likely reason for delay in resuming normal activities after groin
hernia repair. The primary aim of this study was to determine whether the use of glue to fix …

Objective: Three different mesh fixation techniques were compared to find out how to
perform a safe and cost-effective open inguinal hernioplasty in day-case setting with the best …

Background Chronic pain may be a long-term problem related to mesh fixation and
operative trauma after Lichtenstein hernioplasty. The aim of this study was to compare the …

Background Lichtenstein hernioplasty has relatively low recurrence rate, but chronic
inguinal pain may cause harm to the patient. The aim of our study was to compare long-term …

Introduction Secure fixation of the mesh in groin hernia repair is essential to avoid mesh
dislocation. The fixation, however, is also thought to be a source of chronic postoperative …

Inguinal hernia repair, according to Lichtenstein, is very popular due to its minimal
invasiveness (local anaesthesia), easy and reproducible technique, low recurrence rate …

Purpose To investigate pain and other complications following inguinal hernioplasty
performed by the Lichtenstein technique with mesh fixation by fibrin glue or sutures …

Background Many patients develop discomfort after open repair of a groin hernia. It was
hypothesized that suture fixation of the mesh is a cause of these symptoms. Methods This …
