Popis: The aim of this study was to assess the biomechanical properties of the transversalis fascia and rectus abdominis aponeurosis (rectus sheath) in inguinal herniation. These tissues were evaluatedex vivo on fresh samples from 36 patients with inguinal hernias and 11 controls without hernias using a Cutometer® equipped with a 2-mm probe. Under 50 mbar suction, the control aponeurosis and transversalis fascia revealed identical extensibility but the visco-elastic ratio was markedly increased in fascia (p
