Abstract

Fifty five males with 60 inguinal hernias who required mesh hernioplasty were chosen for repair using the Prolene 
Hernia System (Ethicon, Inc.). We found the procedure to be rather simple, rapid, theoretically and practically effective in 
reducing the rate of postoperative pain and recurrence. It requires a short learning curve and has minimal postoperative 
complications.
