“…Vironen [15] compared the Lichtenstein's and PHS repair and did not find significant difference between the two groups (P=0.982). He found testicular complication after 4 weeks in the form of Hydrocele in 0.l7% cases in Lichtenstein and 2.7% in PHS group.…”

“…Testicular pain were observed equal (0.7%) in both groups and no testicular atrophy after 4 weeks. Vironen [15] did not mention about testicular atrophy, after a year or longterm of follow ups after PHS mesh used. He also observed shorter hospital stay after PHS repair like the present findings (79% of patients stayed less then 24 hours).…”

“…These advantages of preperitoneal repair are well demonstrated by the totally extraperitoneal (TEP) or by the transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) methods of inguinal hernia repair [6,10]. However, laparoscopic methods have their unique set of complications as well as having a difficult and prolonged learning curve [1,11], and the need of general anaesthesia during the procedure [3].…”

“…The Lichtenstein technique is one of the popular methods of inguinal hernioplasty as it is easy to learn and perform, and gives consistent good results with less than 1% recurrence rates [6]. However placement of the mesh in the inguinal canal has some demerits.…”

“…A restrição das atividades, física ou esportiva pode chegar a 18% dos casos 50,51 . A inguinodinia parece ocorrer numa freqüência um pouco menor nas operações por via laparoscópica, estimada em 2% a 2,5% dos reparos [52][53][54] , do que naquelas realizadas por via anterior, de 2,1 a 37% 49,[55][56][57] . Pelo fato desta síndrome ser potencialmente incapacitante e de difícil tratamento, a sua prevenção merece cuidado especial 58 .…”
