Objective:
To use dissection ballow by anterior via for placement of the circular part of the double dispositive prolene hernia system in the surgical treatment of groin hernia.
Methods:
Prospective, longitudinal study performed at general hospital. Between 2004 and 2006 to 30 male patients with inguinal hernia in whom dissection of preperitoneal space with dissection ballow by anterior via was performed in order to place the circular part of the double dispositive.
Results:
30 male patients, with age of 45.7 years mean, surgical time was 60 minutes; hospital stay was 24 hours and time to reintegration to their daily activities was 9 days; 10 patients presented hernias type IV in the Gilbert's classification, without complications during surgery; none postsurgical complication or relapse was presented.
Conclusions:
We suggest the use of the dissection ballow to create a preperitoneal space in symmetrical and haemostatic way by anterior via, for maximum expansion of the circular part of the double device.
