Abstract

Objective : The patients with inguinal hernia were treated with plug mesh hernia repair. Methods:The hernia sacs were isolated and dissected back to the internal ring. The unoperated sacs were allowed to drop back through the internal ring into the abdominal cavity. A cone-shaped mesh hernia plug is inserted tapered end through ring and placed into position just beneath the crura. All our repairs were reinforced a second piece of flat was placed from the pubic tubercle, overlying the direct space. Results : Com-paired with conventional suture surgical techniques, a plug repair uses less disscection and ensures tenssion free hernioplusty. Conclusion : We believe that the two factors are the most important reseasons for greater patients confort, rapit rehabilitation, decreased recurrence and lessened overall complication rates with the mesh hernia plug techniques.
