title: The "yo-yo" operation for inguinal hernia.
abstract: This article presents a new principle in the repair of difficult inguinal herniae. The testis is mobilized from the scrotum, returned to the abdominal cavity, brought down again through a new canal constructed through the rectus abdominis muscle, and then restored to the scrotum. The original inguinal canal can then be completely obliterated.
