A total of 298 patients enrolled in this study. This is a retrospective study comparing the outcomes of SSI open herniorrhaphy with prolene mesh.
 Results: Wound infection has occurred in 13 patients from Group-1 (%6.80) versus 3 patients on Group-2 (%2.80) respectively, which is statistically significantly lower than Group-1(p˂0.05).
