Of 285 consecutively operated inguinal hernias in 274 patients 87.4% were clinically examined after three years by two independent investigators. The operations were performed by several surgeons in a small community hospital. All patients were adults. The total reucrrence rate was 10.4%, but if only symptomatic recurrences were included, the recurrence rate was 5.2%. No recurrences were seen in women. Total recurrence rates were in men for lateral hernias 7.7%, medial hernias 11.8% and for recurrent hernia 18.4%. When only symptomatic recurrences in men were taken into account the corresponding figures were 2.4%, 7.8% and 13.2% respectively. Simultaneous bilateral operation seemed to increase the risk of recurrence, while bilateral hernia disease per se did not increase the recurrence rate. The total complication rate was 2.4% and there was no mortality.
在274例患者连续接受的285例腹股沟疝手术中，87.4%的患者在三年后由两名独立调查员进行了临床检查。手术由一家小型社区医院的几名外科医生进行。所有患者均为成年人。总复发率为10.4%，但仅包括有症状的复发时，复发率为5.2%。女性未见复发。男性外侧疝的总复发率为7.7%，内侧疝为11.8%，复发性疝为18.4%。仅考虑男性有症状的复发时，相应数字分别为2.4%、7.8%和13.2%。同期双侧手术似乎增加了复发风险，而双侧疝本身并未增加复发率。总并发症发生率为2.4%，无死亡病例。
