Abstract
The use of a Foley catheter to dissect the preperitoneal space for extraperitoneal hernia repair creates a satisfactory working space for hernia repair. This technique is simple and inexpensive and reduces the operating time to a range similar to that for open inguinal hernia repair.Keywords
