    BACKGROUND : THE LICHTENSTEIN REPAIR IS A WELL STANDARDIZED SURGICAL TECHNIQUE THAT CAN MOSTLY BE PERFORMED IN DAY-CLINIC UNDER LOCAL-REGIONAL ANESTHESIA. THE MAJOR CONCERN IS THE CHRONIC PAIN REPORTED AFTER MESH SUTURE FIXATION. WE STUDIED THE PRACTICAL AND CLINICAL ASPECTS OF A LICHTENSTEIN REPAIR USING THE SEMI-RESORBABLE SELF-FIXATING PARIETEX PROGRIP MESH. METHODS : CONSECUTIVE PATIENTS WITH INGUINAL HERNIA WERE OPERATED ACCORDING TO THE LICHTENSTEIN TECHNIQUE USING PARIETEX PROGRIP {SUP}{/SUP}. COMPLICATIONS WERE ASSESSED. PAIN AND DISCOMFORT WERE EVALUATED AT DISCHARGE, AND AT 1 AND 4 WEEKS AND MINIMUM 6 MONTHS AFTER THE INTERVENTION. RESULTS : 320 PATIENTS WERE INCLUDED IN THE STUDY. NO INTRA-OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS OR DIFFICULTIES OCCURRED. MEAN OPERATING TIME WAS 36 MINUTES (RANGE 20-65 MINUTES). 87.5% OF THE PATIENTS (280) WERE DISCHARGED AT DAY OF OPERATION, 11.9% (38 PATIENTS) HAD AN OVERNIGHT STAY AND 0.6% (2 PATIENTS) STAYED TWO NIGHTS. MEAN NUMBER OF DAYS OF ANALGESIC USE IS 2.1. AT THE 1 WEEK FOLLOW-UP VISIT, MINOR PAIN OR DISCOMFORT WAS REPORTED BY 45 PATIENTS (14%) AND AT 4 WEEKS 11 PATIENTS (3.4%) STILL HAD MINOR DISCOMFORT. AT 6 MONTHS 1 PATIENT SUFFERED FROM PERSISTING LOCAL NUMBNESS. TWO RECURRENCES WERE NOTED, BOTH WERE RE-OPERATED. CONCLUSIONS : THIS OBSERVATIONAL STUDY CONFIRMS EARLIER FINDINGS WITH THIS SEMI-RESORBABLE SELF-GRIPPING MESH REGARDING OPERATION TIME, COMPLICATIONS AND RECURRENCE. THE OPEN LICHTENSTEIN HERNIA REPAIR WITH THE SEMI-RESORBABLE SELFGRIPPING PARIETEX PROGRIP MESH SEEMS TO OFFER A RELIABLE ALTERNATIVE FOR THE TREATMENT OF INGUINAL HERNIA WITH BENEFITS ON OPERATING TIME AS WELL AS ON POSTOPERATIVE PAIN.
