AbstractData concerning quality of life and rehabilitation after inguinal hernia repair are still poor. A prospective survey on 269 patients was conducted following standardized Shouldice, Lichtenstein and TAPP hernioplasty by means of questionnaire. General health perception, pain scores and physical activity were significantly improved by all of the mentioned techniques. Laparoscopic repair was beneficial in indirect, recurrent and bilateral hernia and small defects of the transverse fascia.
