It has almost no risk of serious morbidity and offers a return to work in 1-2 weeks. It is an inexpensive procedure requiring no complex instrumentation. Consistently good long term results may be achieved in dedicated hernia units. The benefits to society are enhanced by the low complication and recurrwence rates.
