The Authors suggest a training programme for surgeons in post graduates courses. With this object in view, the inguinal hernia repair by Lichtenstein has been chosen as the most suitable one. The training course has been divided into theoretic lessons and surgical practice in the operating theatre, carried out in stages as assistant and then as operating surgeon. The good standard achieved, together with the clinical results obtained, demonstrates the effectiveness of the teaching method.
