Abstract

This article presents a study of inguinal hernia treatment with Prolene hernia system in a Dutch regional training hospital. The results of the study demonstrate that the medium proved less reliable for groin hernia repair than the extended-size or large devices of the same platform. It also reports that the medium bilayer connected mesh devices is not the ideal size to use to repair primary unguinal hernias in adult males.
