“…16 Accumulated data from other hernia literature suggest that incidence of urinary retention is lowest with local anesthesia compared with both regional and spinal anesthesia is comparable with present study. 8 In the present study we found that Lichtenstein's hernioplasty under local anaesthesia is safe, simple, effective, economical, with no mortality but had long intraoperative period and more intraoperative pain. This was due to case selection of long duration of hernia.…”
