Lichtenstein`s repair with Polyester (Mersilene) mesh for inguinal hernia.
J Coll Physicians Surg Pak Jan ;9(4):177-9.

Lichtenstein`s repair using polypropylene (proline) mesh for inguinal hernia is now well established method of dealing inguinal hernia with minimal postoperative complications. We have used mersilene mesh instead of proline mesh in this study. One mersilene mesh of 30x30 cm was used in 12 patients, thereby decreasing the overall expenses of the patient. A prospective study of 100 patients with inguinal hernia, who underwent mesh repair was carried out at Sindh Govt. Qatar Hospital Orangi Town Karachi, from February 1995 to June 1998. We present our results of Lichtenstein repair with mersilene mesh.
