[CHS 100P surgical mesh in inguinal hernioplasty in adults using the Lichtenstein tension-free method].
OBJECTIVE
The authors present their initial experience with surgical grid CHS 100 P with strengthened middle strip for the intestinal hernioplasty by the method without tension according to Lichtenstein.


METHODS
In the inguinal hernioplasty by anterior transinguinal way in adult patients the authors use prolene grid and a surgical grid CHS 100 P with strengthened middle strip having been developed in collaboration with the Research Knitting Institute in Brno.


RESULTS
From November 2001 to May 2003 56 adult patients were operated on inguinal hernia by the tensionless plasty according to Lichtenstein using a surgical grid CHS 100 P. No preoperation of postoperation complication or relapse were encountered. The patients were subject to load in the first postoperation day.


CONCLUSIONS
Based on our first experience with flexible surgical grid with strengthened middle band CHS 100 P used for tensionless inguinal hernioplasty in adult patients according to Lichtenstein it may be concluded that the grid is well tolerated by the patients. Flexibility of the grid makes it possible to fully load inguinal area during the first postoperation day.
