Group III: 24 patients were included in this group and polypropylen mesh + npical antibiodtic propylaxis were used for hernia repair. Findings: Group I: There was no infection, but inflammatory reaction occured in two patients and Cord edema occured in one patient. Group II: There was infection in one patient (4%) and inflammatory reaction in one patient. Group 111: There was in-fection in one patient (4%) and Cord edeme in one paient..
