Abstract		As ingunial hernia repair is a relatively noninvasive procedure it enables the choice of different anaesthesia techniques. The most common technique used is regional anaesthesia. It provides a quality analgesia and good operative conditions. One should be aware of complictions due to anaesthesia technique and toxicity of local anaesthetics. If there are contraindications for regional anaesthesia in cardiac, septic or hypertensive patients, general anaesthesia is appropriate. Recently, hernia repair in local anaesthesia in combination with sedation (monitored anaesthesia care (MAC) - has become popular. This type of anaesthesia is preformed by the surgeon himself. It is popular in day-stay surgery. The choice of anaesthesia depends on the patients' general condition, their wishes,doctrine of the institution and the possibilities of postoperative monitoring.
