Tension-free repair, a prerequisite for long-term stability, cannot always be achieved with conventional techniques established for groin reconstruction. Lichtenstein gathered substantial experience simply by closing the hernia in a tension-free fashion using prosthetic material. However, most surgeons fearing graft infection are reluctant to further evaluate this technique. In a feasibility study we entered 70 patients (29 patients with recurrent hernia) receiving a polypropylene mesh (Marlex) to bridge the defect from the inguinal ligament to the internal oblique muscle. Only 1 wound infection and 1 local hematoma requiring reoperation were observed. Nearly 2 years follow-up data revealed no case of recurrence. The Lichtenstein procedure deserves more attention from surgical community and might be a reliable technique esp. in large hernias and redos.
