  • Title: [Inguinal hernia repair with mesh plug technique (initial experiences with a new, tension-free surgical method)].
    Author: Belágyi T, Hegedüs L, Neuberger G, Vasi I, Wellner I, Oláh A.
    Journal: Magy Seb; 2000 Jun; 53(3):117-9. PubMed ID: 11299498.
    Abstract:
    Majority of inguinal hernia repair are performed in Hungary by traditional surgical techniques, reconstruction under tension (Bassini, Kirschner, Shouldice). Hernia surgery underwent a revolutionary change from the 80's. Set out from the United States, tension-free methodologies (Lichtenstein, laparoscopy, mesh plug) have spread worldwide, of which early and late results--especially recurrence rate--are significantly better than the formerly used techniques. Authors introduce the surgical technique of mesh plug hernioplasty and their promising experiences after the first 80 operations.
