Purpose: Groin hernia repair is one of the most common operations in surgical practice. The best choice of anaesthesia and repair technique is still under debate. The aim of the study is to evaluate the results of groin hernia repair in a local hospital in Anatolia.,Materials and Methods: Data of the 230 adult patients, that underwent a hernia repair at a rural state hospital, were evaluated retrospectively.,Results: Regional anaesthesia and local anaesthesia were the mostly preferred types of anaesthesia. Lichtenstein procedure is the mostly used surgical method for groin hernia repair. Mean postoperative time spent in hospital was shorter in local anaesthesia group and was shorter for elective operations compared to emergency conditions. Another factor affecting postoperative hospitalization time is comorbid diseases. Postoperative morbidity was about the same between different anaesthesia groups.,Conclusion: Local anaesthesia has the shortest postoperative hospitalisation time for groin hernia. It would be used more common in groin hernia repair.
