Abstract
Fifty-seven patients with large recurrent inguinal hernia had undergone repair using Marlex mesh. Fifty-six patients had excellent results, 1 patient suffered a recurrence. There were 2 wound infections and no deaths. Polypropylene is an excellent prosthetic material for replacement of attenuated or destroyed posterior wall of the inguinal canal. It is biologically inert and resistant to infection.
