The combination of AM with very large PM in the same retromuscular position in AWR seems to be safe. The efficacy with recurrence rates below 4% in complex midline and lateral IH may be explained by the use of larger PMs that are extended and configured with the support of AMs. Reoperations on patients have confirmed the previous experimental reports on the use of the AM.

This novel modification allows a simpler dissection of the preperitoneal retromuscular space and makes the TAR technique easier to perform. It also enables to incise only the insertion of the transversalis fascia cranially.
