Ilioinguinal neurectomy may be practised routinely in patients undergoing Lichtenstein mesh hernioplasty. Key Words: Inguinal neurectomy, Inguinal hernia, Chronic inguinodynia, Lichtenstein mesh hernioplasty.

ReviewCoronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
Surgical treatment of coronary artery disease in the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients has not been comprehensively addressed. The present review aimed to give an overview of coronary artery disease in the SLE patients receiving coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The study materials were based on comprehensive literature retrieval, which recruited 17 pertinent articles with 30 patients. ⋯ The lack of vasculitis and atherosclerosis in the arterial grafts encourage surgeons to prefer to use the arterial grafts in SLE patients. Less invasive surgical technique would favour the patients in terms of long-term outcomes. Key Words: Coronary artery bypass grafting, Graft occlusion, Vascular, Systemic lupus erythematosus.
