With the use of mesh prosthetics, it is now easy to repair most difficult hernias with no suture line tension. The Authors report their experience (1984-1988) of dacron meshes: they performed 63 alloplasties with a total of 665 repairs for hernias (9.5%) and the results were satisfactory. They observed only 2 recurrences. The technique is good and can be done safely on all difficult hernias.
