Prosthetic repair of incarcerated inguinal hernias: is it a reliable method?
Mesh repair can be preferred in incarcerated inguinal hernia patients because recurrence rate was significantly lower in patients who underwent Lichtenstein repair in this study.
The low incidence of cervical recurrence after RLND in patients with node-positive head and neck melanomas does not justify the routine use of PR. The only subset of patients who may benefit from PR are those with extranodal disease.
