“…The technique developed by Schmieden after removing the testis from the scrotum, aiming to create a key hole, thus allowing the egress of the cord through the internal oblique muscle, can not be considered a neo-genesis of and internal ring 5 . Zimmermann also doublebreasted the external oblique aponeurosis but he fixed its lateral border to the internal oblique muscle and transversalis fascia rather than to the rectus sheath 6,7 . Druener and others also described a double breasted suture, but they take the ilieo-inguinal ligament as part of the repair 4 while Guarnieri did not include the ilieo-inguinal ligament by sutures thus avoiding fibers splitting and excessive line tension, and with the exception of the cremastric borders, only fascia is sutured so that the muscles can maintain their function.…”

This paper presents a personal experience with a technique for indirect inguinal hernia repair, first described by Antonio Guarnieri et al. from Rome, Italy in 1992. Thirty patients with indirect inguinal hernia were operated upon, using this technique, from June 1995 to October 1996. The main characteristics of this technique are the creation of a deep neo-inguinal ring in a more medial site, shortening of the inguinal canal by transposition of the superficial ring to the point where the inferior border of the internal oblique muscle is well represented, reinforcement of the inguinal canal by overlapping the external oblique aponeurosis in a double-breast fashion, and maintenance of the cremasteric muscle. Follow up was carried out at 1,6,12 and 24 months in all the patients. There were no recurrences, no mortality and no testicular atrophy. Two patients (6.6%) had subcutaneous seroma. One patient (3.3%) had hematoma, 5 patients (16.5%) had temporary testicular oedema. The wound infection rate was (3.3%).

“…Choice of suitable technique to be employed depends on the size of the hernial ring. When a large defect makes the approximation of tissues impossible without undue tension, prosthetic implants are used and the most commonly used synthetic material is a mono-filament plastic mesh made of polypropylene or polyethylene (Zimmerman, 1968). The present study aimed to evaluate from a clinical point of view the umbilical hernia surgery in calves by using polypropylene mesh and investigate any possible complications following subcutaneous placement of the mesh.…”

In this study polypropylene mesh was used to facilitate reconstruction of large tissue defects by tension-free repair in 5 crossbred calves with hernial ring sizes ranging from 4-9 cm. The mesh was anchored subcutaneously to strong supportive musculature with interrupted pattern using No. 3 polypropylene sutures. The results revealed that polypropylene mesh proved alternative for hernial repair when fixed subcutaneous in large hernial ring in male and female calves without complications. Therefore, prosthetic mesh represents a safely procedure in large hernial ring to avoid over-stretching on the edges of the wound which hinders wound healing.
