[Modified mesh implantation technique in traditional femoral hernia repairs]

Mesh implantation techniques are increasingly common in groin hernia repairs in Hungary. The mesh can be inserted via the traditional Lichtenstein technique or laparoscopic methods. We modified the traditional operation technique to reduce the incidence of femoral hernia recurrence. The medial and wider part of the mesh was slid in the preperitoneal space under Cooper's ligament and Lotheissen's sutures were fixed 1.5 centimeters from the edge of the mesh. Thus, in the case of a possible suture insufficiency, the probability of hernia recurrence is reduced due to the adhesion between the mesh and the surrounding tissue.
