Abstract

Over a 20 year period 390 adults underwent 454 operations for inguinal hernia using the technique of McVay. The recurrence rate after primary repair was 7.61% and 18.33% for secondary hernias. This was usually early in the postoperative period. These results must be interpreted taking into a ccount that the operations were performed at a teaching institution.
