Abstract
Groin hernia remains one of the most commonly encountered problems in a general surgery practice. The last fifteen years have been witness of a number of significant advances in both the understanding and treatment of groin hernias (1). The “traditional” repairs have been giving way to the so-called “tension-free” repairs because of the reported decrease recurrence risk and shorter disability period (2, 3, 4, 5). These “tension-free” repairs essentially all make use of one or the other of the available prosthetic materials now available (6, 7, 8, 9).
