Abstract
An unselected study of 87 inguinal herniorrhapies was carried out over a 2-year period using polyglycolic acid (Dexon) sutures in 46 procedures and conventional sutures in the remaining 41. Tissue reaction was the same with both types of suture; however, the incidence of recurrence was lower with the use of conventional sutures. This study has not confirmed the superiority of Dexon sutures reported in other studies.
