Abstract

Laparoscopic techniques have become established in the field of general surgery. Whereas there is general agreement that laparoscopic cholecystectomy has advantages over the open surgical operation, laparoscopic herniorrhaphy or hernioplasty remains controversial. This report looks at a representation of the available literature to date concentrating on nonrandomized studies. Copyright © 1998 by W. B. Saunders Company
