The aim of this study was to analyze the shrinkage of two different screens in the repair of inguinal hernias in men . 32 patients with unilateral inguinal hernia were assigned randomly. A Lichtenstein tension-free hernia repair was accomplished by emplacing heavy weight versus ultralight weight polypropylene meshes for repair of incisional hernia, marked next to the lips with six titanium clips (LT200).
eligibility criteria : Elective Surgery, men with unilateral inguinal hernia, 20 - 50 years Exclusion criteria: BMI\> 30, recurrent inguinal hernia, strangulated inguinal hernia, anesthetic risk ASA III and IV, Diabetics, COPD, benign prostatic hypertrophy,cancer disease outcome: Percentage of contraction of the different meshes by digital radiography in post-surgical days: 1, 30, 60 and 90 Independent variables: age, BMI, smoking, ethnicity, profession
