Abstract

GPRVS is a properitoneal hernioplasty with a prosthesis composed of the polyester Dacron. The repair is anatomic, sutureless, tension-free, and the absolute weapon to eliminate all types of groin hernias. No other technique produces better results for the repair of recurrent and re-recurrent groin hernias. It also is a joy to perform.
