[Inguinal herniorrhaphies by the pre-peritoneal method using surgical mesh].
During a period of 5 years, 314 patients with 427 inguinal hernias were operated. 80 males with bilateral inguinal hernia recurrent, or not, were operated with an insertion of a Crinoplaque by a pre-peritoneal approach. The operative time was 65 +/- 26 minutes. 10 patients (12.5%) had by the same incision a concomitant pelvic procedure (9 varicoceles, 1 benign prostatic hypertrophy). 4 patients (5%) developed minor parietal complications. After 1 to 4 years of follow-up, 1 patient (1,25%) showed one side recurrence, in the beginning of our experience. In conclusion, we consider the pre-peritoneal Crinoplaque insertion as a treatment of choice for bilateral recurrent, or not, inguinal hernia for its simplicity and its lower complication rate.
