They were asked to reply within a month. Results: 196[78 %] of the 250 questionnaires were completed and returned. 128[65,3 %] of the 196 surgeons indicated Lichtenstein technique as their first choice for groin hernia repair, followed in frequency by Mesh Plug |Rutkow)and Bassini, The ma|onty of surgeons preferred general anesthesia, Seroma and hematoma were reported as the most frequent complications. Conclusions: Tension-free techniques, especially Lichtenstein, were the preferred treatment of choice both in primary and recurrent hernias, As more than half of the surgeons preferred general anesthesia for the repair of groin hernia so it is advisable.
