Tension free repair with mesh for recurrent inguinal hernia

ABSTRACT

Since the introduction of free tension repair a new era in the management of groin hernia started. It was problematic to manage big inguinal hernias especially long standing recurrent ones due to the fact that repeated trauma to the posterior wall had led to scarring weakening and induration of the tissues supposed to withstand repair, 30 cases were subjected to repair of their recurrent inguinal hernia with a free tension repair with a mesh supporting all length of the posterior inguinal wall
