Les herniorraphies inguinales par voie pre-peritoneale utilisant la crinoplaque

ABSTRACT

During a period of 5 years, 314 patients with 427 inguinal hernias were operated. 80 males with bilateral inguinal hernia recurrent, or not, were operated with an insertion of a Crinoplaque by a preperitoneal approach. The operative time was 65 +/- 26 minutes. 10 patients [12,5%] had by the same incision a concomitant pelvic procedure [9 varicoceles, 1 benign prostatic hypertophy]. 4 patients [5%] developed minor parietal complications. After 1 to 4 years of follow-up, 1 patient [1.25%] showed one side recurrence, in the beginning of our experience. In conclusion, we consider the preperitoneal Crinoplaque insertion as a treatment of choice for bilateral recurrent, or not, inguinal hernia for its simplicity and its lower complication rate
