Abstract

Local anaesthetic day case inguinal hernia repair has been performed on 135 patients under the care of one surgeon in a nine month period. Results of a questionnaire answered by 129 patients (95.6%) and 31 of their general practitioners (85%) have been analysed. The complication rate is very low and both patient and GP acceptability is high.
