Abstract

A descriptive and prospective study was carried out in 556 patients with inguinal hernia, who underwent outpatient surgical treatment in "Saturnino Lora" Provincial Teaching Hospital of Santiago de Cuba, from January 2010 to December 2012, in order to identify the results by means of hernial repair techniques (facial and aponeurotic) and the use of bioprosthesis. Men of 60 years and over with indirect inguinal hernia and infiltrating local anesthesia predominated in the case material. The most used surgical techniques were the fascial ones, without tension, as herniorrhaphy or hernioplasty, with polypropylene mesh and few relapses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
