In repair of incisional hernias the authors use Dacron tulle material for less than peritoneal sac reinforcement prosthesis greater than (PSRP)--a method which prevents recurrences whether or not the abdominal wall is badly damaged. A biological glue (n-butyl-cyanoacrylate monomer) in many cases avoids direct or indirect suture of the patch). In practice, there are two types of PSRP. In one type, the gap in the abdominal wall is small and can be sutured, and the peritoneal Dacron tulle patch is a mere adjunct to parietal synthesis. In the other type, the medial, lateral or peripheral eventration is extensive or recurrent, and parietal synthesis is impossible. A piece of Dacron tulle of very large size is then inserted without any glue or transfixing sutures to help solve mechanical and pathophysiological problems.

This original and now classical method was the first tensionless and sutureless repair of groin hernias proposed almost 30 years ago. Its authors recall its principles, technique and results. The discussion justifies the choice of the particular prosthetic material, demythifies the sepsis risk which is balanced by the recurrence risk, the potentially raising problems related to retroparictal sclerosis at reoperation on the bladder or external iliac vessels, and defines the indications and contraindications of the procedure.

The authors describe an original technique for repair of groin hernia, using a large sheet of Dacron mesh placed by the inguinal route. Among 1613 procedures for hernia repair, this technique was used for 1017 repairs in 971 patients with a mean age of 63 years. The mortality rate was 0.

In some cases of inguinal hernia and of recurrence, the hernial gap can be selectively filled with a plug made of tull or dacron. In our opinion, the merit of this technique is that it limits incisions, detachments and structures of muscular and aponeurotic structures. Thus the operation is particularly non-traumatic and well tolerated by patients, who are discharged after 30 to 40 minutes and can often resume work on the very same day.
