300 laparoscopic treatments of inguinal hernia repair have be done in our hospital between may 1992 and juin 1994. 134 times we have seen a median hernia and 166 times a lateral one. In 44 patients (14%) we did the repair of hernia for bilateral disease. In 66 cases we underwent for recidive; 55 times after hernia repair by the Bassini technique or Shouldice technique, and only 8 times after laparoscopic repair. In 1.4% we have seen early recidivism, no more then in the classical technique. Of course philosophy of this technique is very different to the traditional repair of inguinal hernia, but the encouraging results, important decrease of pain after surgery and the early uptake of normal activity are the reasons why we use this technique for nearly all recidivism of hernia repair and even for a great number of important hernias.
