ABSTRACT

Objective:To compare with curative effect,hospital stay,average cost,recovery time and postoperative complication between local anesthesia and epidural anesthesia stratege for tension-free hernioplasty in middle or old-aged patients.Methods:164 cases were randomly divided into local anesthesia and epidural anesthesia groups.Results:Mean operating time,the time of hospital stay and the rate of postoperative complication in local anesthesia groups were less than that in epidural anesthesia groups.Conclusion:Tension-free hernioplasty under local anesthesia,a more safe,effective and cheap operating method in middle or old aged patients with inguinal hernia,should be widespread.
