  • Title: [Treatment of inguinal hernias. Value of the insertion of an unsplit dacron mesh with parietalization of the cord elements by inguinal approach. Apropos of 1017 cases].
    Author: Bouillot JL, Alexandre JH.
    Journal: Ann Chir; 1996; 50(9):803-7. PubMed ID: 9124789.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe an original technique for repair of groin hernia, using a large sheet of Dacron mesh placed by the inguinal route. Among 1613 procedures for hernia repair, this technique was used for 1017 repairs in 971 patients with a mean age of 63 years. The mortality rate was 0.1% and the morbidity 9%. The mesh had to be removed in one case because of infection. During follow-up, only 3 recurrences have been observed. This technique allows a solid and definitive repair thanks the procedure is correctly performed. The role of laparoscopic approach in the future is still debated.
