INGUINAL HERNIOPLASTY WITH MINI INVASIVE ACCESS

In modern herniology, the application of prosthetic techniques with a predominant share of anterior access is expanding. When using these techniques, the recurrence rate is clearly reduced, but the percentage of patients with late postoperative chronic groin pain is relatively high. The possibility of reducing unwanted results and improving the quality of life among operated patients has necessitated the improvement of operative techniques and the creation of new ones. Modern prosthetic meshes are widely used in herniology: the so-called lightweight meshes and composite meshes with a resorbable component to reduce foreign material in the body. Despite its simplicity and versatility, Lichtenstein's operation is not without its drawbacks. With this method, recurrences are not excluded. They develop in the unprotected areas of the back wall of the inguinal canal. Recurrences usually occur between the transversal fascia and the prosthesis in the area of the tub. pubicum or through the internal opening of the canal.
