Abstract:
This study is based upon our collective experience with more than 3000 open herniorrhaphies, dissection of 99 cadavers from the external approach, and 39 cadavers from open dissections, including 14 laparoscopic dissections. These observations may be of use in avoiding pitfalls in hernioplasty, either from the classic external surgical approaches or those from within, whether transperitoneal or preperitoneal.
