Abstract
Analysis of the process revealed areas for improvement and strong points. Strong points consisted of up-to-date choice of surgical technique. The most frequently used techniques were tensionfree procedures and the Shouldice technique. The following areas for improvement were identified: adherence to protocols for preoperative evaluation, increased use of ambulatory surgery, local anesthesia and sedation, appropriate use of antibiotic and thromboembolic prophylaxis in selected patients and a reduction in the length of hospital stay in inpatients. Patient satisfaction with the treatment was acceptable.
