A new mesh design for plug and patch groin hernia repair: Parietene PP.
Plug and patch hernioplasty is a technique showing very good results. Actually some criticisms mainly concern the amount of prosthetic material and the shrinkage of the plug resulting in recurrence of hernia, groin pain, and/or migration. The new tridimensional mesh Parietene PP allows to achieve a plug and patch hernioplasty, without any risk of plug migration. The Parietene PP hernia repair in simple and easy to learn. Preliminary results are very satisfactory and comparable with the best outcome from mesh plug repair, without any risk of plug migration.
