[Treatment of inguinal hernia with unsplit mersylene prosthesis. Significance of the parietalization of the spermatic cord and the ligation of epigastric vessels].
The authors describe their technique of "thorough" dissection of the spermatic cord by the inguinal route. After parietalization of the cord and ligature of the epigastric vessels, a wide prosthesis of unsplit mersylene can be inserted through the groin behind the muscular layer brought down to Cooper's ligament. From their experience of 120 patients operated upon and without relapse at follow-up, they feel able to recommend this method in cases of recurrent hernias with weak walls and large sac and of hernias occurring in elderly of obese subjects.
