| English abstract | The Shouldice technique, in this report, is described in details and the preliminary results are presented. Between July 1992 and April 1995, 87 inguinal hernias were treated by Shouldice repair in 71 pacients, including 64 (901%) males and seven (9.9%)females with an average of 54 years. Most of them were primary hernias (94.3%) and were performed by residents in general surgery supervised by staff surgeons. All repairs were performed under regional or general anesthesia. The operative diagnosis was indirect hernia in 40 cases (46%), direct in 28 (32,2%) and mixt in 19 (21,8%). The average period of follow-up was 13.2 months and the global recurrence rate 3.9%. The experience demonstrated that good results were attained by surgeons who had no special interest in hernia surgery and testifies to the simplicity and reliability of the method |
| Portuguese abstract | A técnica de Shouldice para o tratamento cirúrgico das hérnias inguinais, apesar dos excelentes resultados descritos na literatura, tem sido pouco difundida em nosso meio, No período de junho de 1992 a abril de 1995, 87 hérnias inguinais foram reparadas seguindo os princípios técnicos da Clínica Shouldice, sendo a grande maioria constituída de hérnias primárias (94,7%), A idade dos pacientes variou de 20 a 85 anos, com média de 54 anos e todos foram operados em caráter eletivo, Neste trabalho apresentamos a descrição técnica detalhada do procedimento e os resultados iniciais (taxa de recidiva global de 3,9%) obtidos em um período médio de 13,2 meses de acompanhamento, que sugerem tratar-se de uma boa técnica para o tratamento cirúrgico das hérnias inguinais |
