The purpose of this study was to compare a lightweight mesh to a standard polypropylene hernia mesh in endoscopic extraperitoneal hernioplasty in recurrent hernias. A total of 140 men with recurrent unilateral inguinal hernias were randomised to a totally extraperitoneal endoscopic hernioplasty (TEP) with Prolene or VyproII in a single-blinded multi-center trial. The randomisation and all data handling...

Background: The study was undertaken in order to assess the degree of concordance between the patient’s and surgeon’s perceptions of adverse events after groin hernia surgery. Methods: 206 patients who underwent elective surgery for groin hernia at Samariterhemmet, Uppsala, Sweden in 2003 were invited to a follow-up visit after 3–6 weeks. At this visit the patient was instructed to answer a questionnaire...
A standard polypropylene mesh used in Lichtenstein’s operation induces a strong foreign tissue reaction with potential harmful effects. A mesh with less polypropylene could possibly be beneficial. Six hundred men with primary unilateral inguinal hernias were randomised to Lichtenstein’s operation using a Prolene- or Vypro II-mesh in six centres. The patients were blinded to which mesh they received...
Background The use of mesh in inguinal hernia surgery has become increasingly popular despite the potentially harmful effects that foreign material may exert on human tissue. The purpose of this study was to compare the use of a lightweight mesh vs a standard hernia mesh in bilateral endoscopic hernioplasty. Methods This single-blinded multicenter trial, 140 men with bilateral inguinal hernias were...
