Brief Summary: Lichtenstein herniorrhaphy still remains one of the most often performed inguinal hernia repair techniques It is frequently associated with acute postoperative and chronic pain Due to insufficient effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs they are often overdosed However opioids have many side effects Interventional treatment such as transversus abdominis plain TAP block requires an additional intervention and has relatively short effect also could not be applied in outpatient conditions The hypoalgesic effect of transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation TENS is well known for many years but effectiveness during postoperative period is still controversial and maybe therefore didnt come to daily practice However it could be a promising part of multi-modal pain treatment for hernia patients This study analyse the hypoalgesic effect of TENS and its impact on hernia specific quality of life QoL after Lichtenstein hernia repair

Aim1 To determine whether use of TENS is effective for acute postoperative pain relief

Aim2 To determine whether use of TENS have impact on hernia specific QoL in early and late postoperative period

Aim3 To identify factors associated with effectivenessineffectiveness of TENS procedures

Aim4 To determine whether a psychological condition depression anxiety and pain catastrophisation is somehow associated with TENS effectiveness
