Abstract
In the last 13 years, the basic principles of the tension-free hernioplasty, first proposed by Lichtenstein in 1989, has been widely accepted. A considerable increase in use of the technique resulted from this and several modifications of the original procedure have been employed (Trabucco 1989, Gilbert 1991, Corcione 1995) in order to simplify and to improve it. In Italy, a rapid evolution occurred from the “traditional” herniorraphies (Bassini, Shouldice) toward the prosthetic techniques and nowadays ambulatory procedures under local anaesthesia are most commonly preferred.
