Perhaps the present suggestion may seem merely another such modification, but it is believed that it differs in its basic mechanics and is presented for what it is worth. I have done only the Mayo operation until recently. One patient operated on by this method some six years ago returned after about three years with a slight but definite recurrence consisting of a bulge at the extreme lateral margin of the repair.
