Abstract
Almost 40 years of lucky existence is enough time for questioning and/or updating the Stoppa method for hernia repair. In this paper, the author reports the circumstances of the birth of this method more than 30 years ago, recalls its innovative principles, describes its technical aspects, and exposes its good results. Not simply approving old concepts, the author concludes with critical remarks with regard to a so-called political correctness of today's groin hernia repair, which gives great importance to reducing patient trauma arising from surgery. For belief without doubt can be wrong belief!Keywords
