Confirmed by hundreds of publication, from sources interested in hernia surgery, rate of recurrence and postoperative chronic pain is less than 1%. When the key principles of the procedure are respected the rate of recurrence and chronic inguinodynia after the Lichtenstein tension-free hernia repair is a fraction of one percent. %A Amid, Parviz K. %P 26-31 %9 journal article %U https://www.termedia.pl/Lichtenstein-tension-free-hernia-repair-its-background-and-evolution-with-focus-on-avoiding-postherniorrhaphy-chronic-pain,42,12126,1,1.html
