description The use of prosthetic mesh to repair inguinal hernias has been common practice at surgical centers around the world for more than 30 years. Open tissue repairs are the alternative for patients who cannot have, do not want, or are not offered mesh. Open tissue repairs are troubled by inferior recurrence rates in most clinical trials. In this article, we will review a long-forgotten tissue repair described by Andrews in 1895. In addition, we report on our early experience with the Andrews technique for primary inguinal hernia tissue repair.
