Abstract
This chapter demonstrates the use of the narrow mesh for the treatment of inguinal hernia. Some 20 million operations are performed worldwide each year. This study relates to inguinal hernia repair, and more particularly to a preshaped inguinal hernia prosthetic material, polypropylene, 6×2.5 centimeters in size, that has a lateral semicircular non-encircling cord locating structure in order to protect the spermatic cord and that it is interposed between the conjoined tendon and the inguinal ligament in such a way as to repair the hernia and at the same time to reconstitute the physiology of the inguinal canal. The Narrow Mesh, interposed between the inguinal ligament and the conjoint tendon, reduces the tension on the suture line by advancing medially the inguinal ligament. Clinical studies were affirmed to evaluate the proposed claims of efficacy and safety and the prospective of a better outcome of the use of the Narrow Mesh for the repair of inguinal hernia.
