Lichtenstein Repair

Lichtenstein Repair is a surgical procedure used to fix inguinal hernias, which occur when tissue pushes through a weak spot in the groin area's muscle wall. The surgeon makes a small incision, pushes the bulging tissue back into place, and then reinforces the opening using a synthetic mesh. This mesh acts like a patch, providing extra support to prevent the hernia from returning. The procedure is commonly performed with local or general anesthesia and usually allows for a quick recovery, making it a widely used method for effectively treating inguinal hernias.
