Use of Fibrin Sealant for Prosthetic Mesh Fixation in Laparoscopic Extraperitoneal Inguinal Hernia Repair

Abstract

An adequate mesh fixation in the extraperitoneal inguinal area can be accomplished using FS. This method is mechanically equivalent to the fixation achieved by staples and superior to nonfixed grafts. Biologic soft fixation with FS will prevent early graft migration and will avoid the complications associated with staple use.
