Abstract
Until 1995, inguinal hernias were treated in our department either by conventional herniorrhaphy including the transversalis fascia, or with a Mersilene prosthesis implanted by the inguinal approach as described by J. Rives (1). We then progressed towards to the “Tension Free Repair” concept and since 1997, we have been using the PHS prosthesis extensively, retaining the inguinal approach. We think this prosthesis respond to the criteria of an anatomical repair according to our previous publications on anatomy of this area (2, 3, 4, 5).
