The superiority of this method of hernia repair via a sub-peritoneal approach over classical techniques would seem to have been demonstrated since no failures were noted amongst 50 cases treated. The technique involves the complete resection of the sac of congenital hernias, the complete reduction of the sac of direct or recurring hernias and the abandonment of all sutures in favour of the broad apposition of a plaque which perfectly obliterates the deep orifices of the inguinal region.
