The plugs and patches were made by hand, using pieces of flat polypropylene mesh. 77 % of the patients underwent elective surgery. There was a predominance of males over females with a ratio of 6:1. Regional anesthesia and prophylactic antibiotic therapy were used in all cases. Half of the patients had hernias that had relapsed one or more times.
