Abstract:

This review is devoted to laparoscopic preperitoneal and open Lichtenstein unguinal hernia repair. Considering the PubMed, Google, the Springer Link online library and the Cochrane Systematic Review databases, we analyzed the reviews, prospective and retrospective studies devoted to comparison of these most common methods of treating inguinal hernias. Indications and contraindications for endoscopic hernia repair, features of laparoscopic surgeries, causes of conversion to open interventions, early and long-term results of laparoscopic and open operations were estimated.
