title: [The treatment of recurrent inguinal hernia].
abstract: Between 1980 and 1987 a total of 163 patients were operated for unilateral recurrent inguinal hernia in the University Hospital Dijkzigt. Various factors were analysed statistically with the log rank test for their prognostic value to predict repeat recurrence. Lower repeat recurrence rates were found with increase of age (p = 0.05) and time passed since the previous hernia operation (p = 0.001). Using the actuarial method of analysis the total cumulative repeat recurrence rate after five years was 23%.
