[The Shouldice plastic surgery: our clinical experience].
The Authors present cases of groin hernioplasty using the Shouldice method; the method used for more than six years, such as elective technique to treat groin hernia, is evaluated on the basis of results of complications and recurrences. A careful clinical check of patients operated on over one year at least, allows confirmation of the efficiency of the method, because it results in a low percentage of recurrence and complications, plus a low social and economical cost. For these reasons it is proposed that the method is applied in day surgery.
