Although polypropylene mesh are the preferred prosthesis materials for the tension-free hernioplasties because they handle well and become quickly integrated, having reduced the recurrence rate below 1%, some problems with their use are still to be addressed (postoperative pain, long-term discomfort, infections, intestinal obstruction and fistulization). In order to answer to these disadvantages, a new degradable and reabsorbable material, the porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS mesh gold, Surgisis), has recently been used in humans for laparoscopic hernia repairs. Aim to our study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Lichtenstein's hernioplasty using the Surgisis gold soft tissue graft, as a mesh, and to compare it with the traditional Lichtenstein procedure performed with polypropylene mesh.
