Safe reconstruction of the inguinal floor is the goal of any operation for repair of groin herniation. Operating in the properitoneal space avoids dissection of the scarred cord, and the incidence of @entity532 is markedly lowered. This study reports our experience with placing synthetic mesh between the peritoneum and the deficient inguinal floor for the repair of recurrent @entity547 of the groin area. During a five year period, 84 @entity1 underwent repair of 100 recurrent @entity169 using the properitoneal approach. Fifty-four @entity1 had repair of a unilateral recurrent @entity547 , 16 had repair of a bilateral recurrent @entity547 and 14 had repair of both a recurrent @entity547 and a contralateral primary @entity547 . @entity260 occurred in six @entity1 . No @entity532 were observed. Postoperative follow-up study ranged from six months to five years. There were only three recurrent @entity547 after this repair. All occurred within the first six months postoperatively. The properitoneal approach for repair of recurrent groin @entity547 using prosthetic mesh safely creates a new "fascia transversalis" with a low rate of recurrence and effectively eliminates @entity532 .
