美国国家卫生统计中心的数据显示，2003年美国完成了大约80万例腹股沟疝修补术。其中90%以上涉及使用网状假体，并且在门诊进行。两种最常见的腹股沟疝修补技术是利希滕斯坦疝修补术和塞疝修补术。腹股沟疝气手术的经济评估表明，成本效益最重要的组成部分是患者在手术室、恢复室花费的总时间以及他或她在设施中的总体停留时间。
Data from the National Center for Health Statistics reveals that approximately 800,000 groin hernia repairs were completed in the United States in 2003. More than 90% of these operations involve the use of mesh prosthesis and are performed on an outpatient basis. The two most common groin hernia repair techniques are the Lichtenstein and plug hernioplasties. Economic evaluation of groin hernia surgery demonstrates that the most important component of cost effectiveness is the aggregate time the patient spends in the operating room, recovery room, and the length of his or her overall stay in the facility.
