Detailed explanation-1: -A Lichtenstein repair of a direct hernia is a tension-free mesh repair. The direct hernia is isolated from the cord structures, and then invaginated back into the abdominal cavity. The defect in the wall is then closed by suture, after which the mesh is fixed to bridge the defect.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Lichtenstein tension-free hernioplasty is currently one of the most popular techniques for repair of inguinal hernias.
Detailed explanation-3: -Objective: Tension-free procedures are aimed to minimize post-operative pain and rate of recurrence, by replacing sutures under tension by a mesh without any approximation of the margins of the hernial orifice. Moreover they offer the advantage of being performed under local or epidural anesthesia.
