Summary
Lichtenstein technique, inserting a mesh over the inguinal cord in the neurological plane, is considered the standard of inguinal hernia repair, but it has 4% recurrence and 12% chronic postoperative pain. Rives technique inserts the mesh in the preperitoneal space behind the neurological plane and the muscular plane, thus better fulfilling the principle of hydrostatics.
Detailed description
These techniques have not been compared randomly for assessment of chronic pain, postoperative complications and recurrences
