Consecutive surgical treatment of bilateral hernias leads to the appearance of recurrences in 67% of the operated patients. An important etiological moment of the appearance of the repeated, by turns recurrences in the two-steps elimination of a bilateral inguinal hernia is the symptom of tension and pulling the lateral muscles of the abdomen from one side to the other. The proposed method of a one-step surgical treatment, using the suprapubic access by the developed technique, allows reduction of recurrences to 2.2%.
