Abstract
The authors report their 14 years experiences with inguinal hernia repair in elderly. The result were compared with young (<75 years old), and confirmed that there were no significant differences between the 2 groups. The study confirmed the safety and effectiveness of the “tension-free” technique under local anaesthesia, which is proposed as the treatment of choice in elderly.
