[Comparison between two methods of inguinal hernia surgery--Lichtenstein and Desarda].

Abstract

The Desarda and Lichtenstein methods of primary inguinal hernia repair do not differ in the means of procedure complexity and surgery time. The number of local complications and pain intensity were comparable and similar to the literature data. The patients after Desarda and Lichtenstein hernia repair were satisfied with the surgery results. Desarda primary hernia repair is as effective as Lichtenstein surgery and six months after the surgery the treatment results are similar in both groups.
