Abstract
We review five years experience on inguinal hernia repair under local anesthesia in a small hospital in the interior of the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Sixty patients were submitted to repair and they were evaluated according to their immediate results, kind of hernia, anesthetic and operatory techniques and recurrences. The results were considered excellent in 20% of the cases, good in 65%, regular in 13.3% and in 1.7% the results were bad. No recurrence was observed up to now. Most of the patients were discharged within 24 hours. The proposed technique has provided reduced hospital expenses and low risks of infection.
