[The treatment of recurrent inguinal hernias by using Marlex mesh preperitoneally].
Several techniques are utilized in the treatment of inguinal hernia: each type of repair offers advantages, but a variable number of recurrences occurs regardless of the hernioplasty technique used. Treatment of hernial recurrence is a troublesome goal for surgeons. Nowadays, the use of prosthetic materials with a posterior surgical approach simplifies and resolves most of the problems encountered in the past. The authors report their experience with the use of Marlex mesh for hernia repair through a preperitoneal approach pointing out the advantages of such prosthetic material and of the surgical access as well. Finally, the importance of patients selection is stressed.
