Title: Pre-extraperitoneal approach to inguinofemoral herniorrhaphy
Abstract: A technic of pre-extraperitoneal approach to inguinofemoral herniorrhaphy is described. The role of the rectus fascia is discussed. Pseudosac formation in direct inguinal hernia is emphasized. Transversalis fascia was found to be unsuitable for suturing. The advantages and disadvantages of the approach are outlined. A superior relaxing incision is described. It was concluded that preperitoneal herniorrhaphy should be used in femoral hernia, recurrent herniation, bilateral hernias, cryptorchidism, sliding hernia, and cases of incarceration or strangulation.
