Resumen
LOPEZ RODRIGUEZ, Pedro et al. A new surgical approach in inguinal herniorraphy. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2004, vol.43, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2945.
The experience with the hernia repair technique, in which the posterior wall of the inguinal canal is strengthened with a fix band of the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle to produce a strong and physiologically active posterior wall is described in a retrospective study conducted at “Enrique Cabrera” General Hospital, in Havana City. A first cut-off of the first 56 patients operated on from May 2001 to May 2003, including both, that have been followed up, is presented. All the patients underwent ambulatory surgery with local anesthesia. No patient had postoperative pain and only one presented an early hematocele and late granuloma. Recurrence has not been found. The operation is easy, it does not require any mesh and its results are equivalent to those reported with mesh
