Brief summary (from the registry)
With reference to inguinal hernia surgeries with prosthesis, the multicenter study aims to investigate the benefits in terms of incidence of pain and discomfort, improvement in the quality of life for the patient after the use of the newly introduced semi-absorbable prosthesis (ULTRAPRO® meshes) compared with the prosthesis of totally nonabsorbable material (conventional meshes in polypropylene "Prolene®"), and in terms of the costs for the hospital, the National Health System (NHS), and the society of associates for the use of the ULTRAPRO® in inguinal hernia surgeries.
