Abstract:
:A technique for the repair of inguinal hernias in elderly patients with weak abdominal muscles has been presented. It consists of the overlapping of the flaps of the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle according to the method previously proposed by Andrews. To date, the technique has given good results, even in very old patients, with almost completely atrophied muscles.
