Abstract
The article presents an analysis of the surgical treatment of 106 young and middleaged male patients who underwent inguinal hernia repair: 64 patients underwent the Liechtenstein operation, 42 – TEP technique. The duration of surgical treatment, the need for the use of analgesics, early and late postoperative complications were analyzed in detail. Patients operated using TEP technique needed less analgesia in the early postoperative period, they had fewer postoperative wound complications, and their ability to work was restored faster. However, TEP surgery can only be performed under endotracheal anesthesia and is longer than the Liechtenstein procedure. The Liechtenstein operation can be performed under local anesthesia, which is important for comorbid middleaged patients.
