Ultra-Pro Hernia System for Repair of Primary Complex Inguinal Hernia: Should It Be the Technique of Choice?

“…In attempts of reducing chronic pain, more interest has been recently focused on the mesh material. The introduction of the light weight meshes was found to be associated with less chronic pain, less patient's discomfort, and better quality of life after mesh repair of inguinal hernia with no difference in recurrence rate if compared to the classic heavy weight prolene mesh [8] [15] [16] [17]. Light weight mesh has large pore size that allows rapid tissue ingrowth.…”
