The safe and risk assessment of perioperative antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy in inguinal hernia repair, a systematic review

ConclusionOur results indicated that, for both open and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, there is no need to stop the antiplatelet therapy (Aspirin or Clopidogrel), and due to the limited evidence and the complexity of each patient ’ condition, the continuation or cessation of anticoagulation with Warfarin should be tailored on a case-by-case basis.
