Actual (reported)Chronic pain after inguinal hernia repair has become a major concern. Although tension-free Lichtenstein technique is used and new lightweight meshes have been developed, still up to 40 % of patients complain of some kind of pain even one year after surgery. The necessity of mesh-fixation using sutures, could be causative. However, current data do not provide evidence whether suture fixation in Lichtenstein repair might be the reason for chronic postoperative pain. A newly developed selfgrip-mesh enables sutureless fixation of the mesh in open inguinal hernia repair. Hereby a polypropylene mesh is combined with a resorbable polylactic-acid gripping system. Thereby the rate of chronic postoperative pain could be decreased. Two techniques of inguinal hernia repair will be evaluated:
