BACKGROUND Alloplasty with prosthetic graft (marlex net, dacron, mersilene, etc.) represents an undoubted progress in the surgical treatment of inguinal hernia. Having completed the isolation and possible resection of the hernial sac, the posterior wall of the inguinal canal is no longer reconstructed using musculo-aponeurotic plastic surgery (Bassini, Postemski, etc.), but by encouraging a granulomatous reaction using a prosthetic graft which provides a solid posterior wall to the inguinal canal. METHODS A total of 447 cases were examined of patients undergoing alloplastic surgery with the use of a prosthetic polypropylene graft who were controlled at one week, one month and one year after surgery. RESULTS Mortality was zero whereas morbidity was 21 cases: 7 hematoma, 5 funicular edema, 8 seroma. A total of 9 recidivations were recorded (2%).
