Excerpt

We read with interest Desarda’s recent article describing a new method of inguinal hernia repair [1]. The author discusses the use of a medially based longitudinal strip of the external oblique aponeurosis to reinforce the inguinal floor. The aponeurosis is sutured laterally to the inguinal ligament and medially to the internal oblique arch, behind the spermatic cord. The method was used in 860 patients, 72.5% of whom were followed up by clinical examination or questionnaire at more than 7 years after surgery. Dr. Desarda observed no recurrences or postoperative neuralgia and concluded that his results were superior to those previously published in the field of surgery [1]. …
