Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the surgical treatment for sportsman's hernia in our department to the current literature. Our hypothesis is that combined solution for the two major problems that cause pain in this syndrome - repair the weakness in the posterior wall of the inguinal canal with "tension free" technique (mesh repair) and reducing the muscle strain on the abdominal wall by cutting, partially, the tendon of the external oblique muscle, will shorten the time to return to full physical activity in soccer players.
