[Multilayer dermatoplasty by means of autodermal strip in inguinal hernia].

The author suggests the method of plastic reconstruction of the posterior wall of the inguinal canal by means of an autodermal strip, the lower edges of the internal oblique and transverse abdominal muscle together with the transverse fascia being laced by an autodermal strip. Then, stitches of the latter are sutured to the ilio-pubic band posterior to the testicular cord with a simultaneous constriction of the inguinal canal deep ring. A medial aponeurotic leaf of the external oblique abdominal muscle is sutured to the inguinal ligament anterior to the testicular cord, while a lateral aponeurotic leaf of the former muscle is sutured to the medial one as a duplicature. Since 1971 eighty eight operations have been performed after the technic described. Late results up to 3 years were followed up in 80 cases. No recurrences were noted.
