Özet

Aim: Only 4.8% of general surgeons in our country prefer Shouldice herniorrhaphy in primary inguinal hernia repair. In the evaluation of postoperative complications, this technique, which has the closest results to Lichtenstein herniorrhaphy, could be the preferred method in selected cases of primary inguinal hernia repair. It does not only provide an alternative to the surgeon, but it can also be the first choice in cases where mesh repair cannot be applied. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Shouldice herniorrhaphy in patients who got the primary inguinal hernia diagnosis, comparing Lichtenstein herniorrhaphy.
