[The experience at the 4th Surgery Department of the University Hospital C.F. Craiova in the surgical treatment of inguinal hernia].
This paper aim is to present the experience of Surgery Department IV of University Hospital C. R. Craiova in groin hernias treatment using prosthetic meshes, also describing an original technical procedure of mesh-plasty that we have been practicing successfully in our clinic. The study is based on a number of 1757 groin hernias operated in Surgery Department IV of University Hospital C. F. Craiova during a period of 11 years (1993-2003). There have been used prosthetic meshes in a number of 230 hernias operated for the most part in the last years since mesh repair has become habitually. We have been using so far only prosthetic mesh made in Romania (polyester mesh). We had a single recurrent hernia and the immediate complications were minimal. The study refers us to practice prosthetic mesh repair in an extensive way and offers a technical alternative in using of prosthetic meshes by a simple and efficient procedure with good postoperative results.
