39 selected patients had their inguinal herniae repaired on 41 separate occasions in a health center. Local anaesthesia allowed adequate painfree surgery when supplemented with Diazepam and Pentazocin. All patients could return to their own homes within 6 hours. With an observation time of between one month and six years no recurrences have so far been observed. Apart from a mild post-operative pain, there were no complications. All returned to their normal employment after 5 to 32 days (average 20 days) depending on occupational demands. The pros and cons of out-patient surgery under local anaesthesia are discussed.
39名选定患者在一家健康中心分41次接受了腹股沟疝修补手术。在使用地西泮和喷他佐辛辅助的情况下，局部麻醉使得手术过程中疼痛得以充分缓解。所有患者都能在6小时内返回家中。在长达1个月至6年的观察期内，目前尚未观察到复发情况。除了术后轻微疼痛外，没有出现并发症。根据职业需求，所有患者在5至32天（平均20天）后都恢复了正常工作。本文讨论了局部麻醉下门诊手术的利弊。
