ABSTRACT
Study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility and benefits of inguinal hernia repair with prolene hernia system (PHS) mesh under local anaesthesia as a day surgery procedure in a multinational society of United Arab Emirates. One hundred and seventy-eight inguinal hernias in 172 consecutive adults of whom 154 (89.5%) fitted the criteria of inclusion in the day-case surgery settings were operated upon including one early recurrence. Conversion from local to general anaesthesia was required in five (2.8%) patients. The mean operation time was 65 min, including the anaesthesia injection. The mean hospital stay was 2.1 days for all patients and 1.01 days for those who fitted in the ambulatory surgery program. Inguinal hernia repair using the PHS technique under local anaesthesia could be mastered by many of the surgeons in our hospital with minimal morbidity and short hospital stay with a potential to lessen recurrence.
