Abstract:
The open repair of groin hernias is often augmented with prosthetic biomaterials (mesh) as this favours a lower recurrence rate. The use of such prostheses may be associated with various complications including migration the frequency of which is unclear. A 29-year review of this complication after mesh plug hernioplasty is undertaken and technical advice described to avoid this.
