  • Title: A single technique for polypropylene mesh hernioplasty of inguinal and femoral hernias.
    Author: Celdrán A, Vorwald P, Meroño E, Ureña MA.
    Journal: Surg Gynecol Obstet; 1992 Oct; 175(4):359-61. PubMed ID: 1411894.
    Abstract:
    The main factor in the repair of groin hernias is the reinforcement of posterior wall defects of the inguinal canal, including the femoral ring, because the normal insertion of the transversalis fascia and transversus abdominis muscle is on Cooper's ligament and not Poupart's ligament. In approximately one-half of primary femoral hernia repairs in men, a coincidental ipsilateral inguinal hernia existed. Recurrence after inguinal herniorrhaphy is usually femoral. Forty-three patients with direct, large indirect or femoral hernias (primary or recurrent) had a Marlex mesh hernioplasty to treat the inguinal and femoral region simultaneously.
