Abstract
The Authors report a series of 73 elderly patients undergone to Lichtenstein hernioplasty with local anaesthesia. Treatment of inguinal hernia in emergency involves a high mortality; on the contrary, the lack of complications and a very good patient compliance shows that elective repair of inguinal hernia should be preferred and performed in the elderly.
