Abstract:

The high risk of hernia recurrence as reported in the literature has prompted a significant increase in use of prosthetic materials for repair of groin hernias. The speed of recovery after surgery, as well as cost and simplicity, has become a much more important consideration than in the past, now that the risk of recurrence has been lowered with modern techniques.
