| Özet |
| During the 20th century, hernia repair trend changed several times. A very interesting competition has been going on between the opponents of Lichtenstein and laparoscopic repairs. We recently questioned the same issue by the same method to see if laparoscopic hernia repair found more opponents and preference rate in surgeons and physicians in Ankara, Turkey. In general 88.9% of the respondents preferred open repair, while only 11.1% chose laparoscopy. The majority of the participants who preferred an open repair stated that it was a better known technique to choice. Almost half considered local anaesthesia an advantage. Laparoscopic repair was mainly preferred for its advantages of less pain and early return to work. When three consecutive surveys among the same population in Ankara in 1997, 2001 and 2007 were compared the laparoscopic repair preference rates did not show a statistical difference (9.1%, 16.1% and 11.1% respectively). |
