Abstract
Patients who had undergone inguinal herniotomy with the IPOM technique at Horsens Regional Hospital during the calender years of 2004 through 2010 filled out a questionnaire specific for recurrence and postoperative complications and had a clinical examination Furthermore the medical records and national databases were analysed for reoperations for recurrent herniasThe optimal treatment of these relatively rare and complicated patients is still an issue of debate but in the light of the present study it seems that the IPOM technique is equal to or has a better profile compared to Lichtenstein in terms of rerecurrence and chronic pain We believe that the IPOM technique has a place in the treatment of these patients
