Popis: For about 15 years, inguinal hernias in adults have been treated preferentially in our institution by a short midline suprapubic approach (usually 8 cm) and the application of prosthetic material. The technique we use derives from that described originally by Stoppa et al. The preperitoneal dissection is carried out in the same manner. The difference is that the management of the hernia is achieved by a prosthesis considerably overlapping the hernial openings, one on each side in the case of a bilateral procedure. The prosthesis is fixed by a single suture in Cooper’s ligament and held in place principally by intraabdominal pressure. This technique has been spread through the Liege region largely by Lombard et al.
