[Surgical treatment of inguinal hernia by a polypropylene net and PHS system]

Immediate and late results of surgical treatment were analyzed in 365 patients aged from 30 to 80 years with inguinal hernia using net of polypropylene and the PHS system in comparison with results of autoplastic operations, performed in 326 patients. Application of net of polypropylene and the PHS system allows to improve in patients the surgical treatment result significantly because of reliable strengthening of inguinal canal fundus without tension of tissues. Early postoperative rehabilitation and the lowering of recurrences occurrence justify significant advantages of such hernioplasty over autoplastic methods and its wide application in surgical treatment of primary inguinal hernia.
