RESUMO

Repair of adult inguinal hernia has been done on an outpatient basis at our surgical facility for the past six years. In 616 consecutive repairs, complications have been remarkably few: one patient was electively admitted to hospital, two hernias have recurred and one patient needed to be catheterized. Patient acceptance has been enthusiastic.
