[Modified Gilbert's technique in the treatment of persistent inguino-scrotal hernias in aged patients].
In elderly males, and in particular in very old men, the anatomical changes produced by senility encourage the formation of large inguino-scrotal hernias. Their repair may be achieved using Gilbert's technique to which the authors have proposed a number of variants. The good results show that the "tension-free" technique may be correctly applied in elderly patients with inguino-scrotal hernias, thus allowing a straightforward postoperative recovery with no complications.
