[Hernioplasty using a Lichtenstein polypropylene mesh].
"Tension free" technique with prosthetic mesh for inguinal hernia repair was introduced since 1988 in Authors' Institution. In a review of 98 hernioplasties performed, only one relapse was observed (around 1%), while prosthetic infection cases were never observed. The disorder most frequently complained by the patients is a pain in the pubic area, persisting even months after the operation. Therefore this technique seems to be reliable, safe, and easy. While waiting for a long-term follow up to confirm these results, the Authors however suggest to limit the indications for this technique avoiding the use of prosthetic material in young patients since Shouldice's hernioplasty assures a low percentage of relapse for them.
