    Author: Campanelli G, Senni-Buratti M, Ruca A, Nicolosi FM, Contessini-Avesani E.
    Journal: Minerva Chir; 2003 Aug; 58(4):601-3, 604-6. PubMed ID: 14603176.
    Abstract:
    A particular clinical case personally observed is described. On the basis of this case it is evaluated if it can be correct to implant a mesh in potentially contaminated areas, if preperitoneal repair is the best approach in recurrent or difficult hernia repair and if there are specific contraindications in operating elderly patients.
