title: The technique of giant prosthetic reinforcement of the visceral sac performed through an anterior groin incision.
abstract: The technique of giant prosthetic reinforcement of the visceral sac performed through an anterior groin incision is described. The procedure, which is usually performed through an abdominal incision, is indicated for all hernias of the groin that are at high risk for recurrence after classical repair and that are encountered unexpectedly during routine primary hernioplasty.
