ABSTRACT
The author describes the present status of the treatment of inguinal hernias. The Lichtenstein open tension-free polipropilene mesh repair for inguinal hernias is the procedure of choice for general surgeons, for the treatment of primary or recurrent inguinal hernias, simple or complicated. The laparoscopic repair should be preserved for centers with a great experience in laparoscopic surgery, being the most accurate indications on bilateral hernias, especially if one is recidivated from the anterior route, or if here exists a previous testicular atrophy in one of the sides. The open anterior route con be used by young surgeons with the same results as those obtained by experienced surgeons.
