title: RETRACTED: A new technique for extraperitoneal repair of inguinal hernia.
abstract: This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).
  This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief and authors, as portions of the clinical data used were inaccurate. Specifically, more than 500 cases of the total 1882 cases of hernia patients presented in the paper were actually hydrocele of tunica vaginalis, not hernia. The authors sincerely apologize for these errors.
