title: [Role of pre-slit Crinofil prostheses in the treatment of inguinal hernias by extra-peritoneal approach. Apropos of 400 cases].
abstract: Surgical treatment of inguinal hernia has progressed over the last 15 years, particularly due to the development of new prosthetic material. Strong pre-slit yet flexible plastics adapted to the size of the posterior inguinal wall were implanted in 400 patients over a 15 year period and have given excellent results. When reoperation was required, these plaques were not an obstacle to dissection of the vascular pedicles since no staples are needed, reducing the risk of nerve injury.
