A descriptive, longitudinal, and observational study on the first 120 patients surgically treated due to inguinal hernia using Jean Rives´hernioplasty technique at "Dr Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January, 2001 to January, 2009. In the series, 56,6 % of its members were male, having a mean age of 64,4 years; meanwhile 50,8 % out of the total had primary hernias, with a prevalence of III-B stage according to Nyhus classification. Cefazolin (67,5 %) and polypropilene (73,3 %) prevailed as antibiotic prophylaxis and prosthesis material, respectively. Local anesthesia and sedation were used in 56,6 % of the case material. Postoperative complications represented 2,4 % and no hernia recurrence was observed. The aforementioned procedure is safe and effective to carry out the reparative surgery of the inguinocrural hernias.
