Search for: [Abstract = "The analysis of the results led to the conclusion thatLichtenstein technique for inguinal hernia repair is not a therapeuticgolden standard. Small number of patients operated with Rutkow\-Robbins technique does not allow formulating explicit thesis on itseffectiveness. PHS repairs were connected with lower number ofrecurrences, and therefore this technique seems to be a method ofchoice for the treatment of inguinal hernias. Despite slight differences,each technique may be safely used independently of the patients’ age,and elective or emergency type of surgery. As there is no clearstatistical difference among analyzed parameters, final decision as tothe choice of the technique depends on the intraoperative findings andskills of the operating surgeon. There is still a problem of the qualityof life after inguinal hernia repairs and postoperative chronic painreported by some patients. Many studies concentrate currently on thecauses and management of the postoperative pain.Chronic pain after inguinal hernia repairs has been a subject ofstudies on the use of the new generation biomaterials."]
