Abstract
A prosthesis is provided for the surgical treatment of hernias. The prosthesis includes two parts, that is, a synthetic non-resorbent mesh and a ring fixed at the peripheral edge of the synthetic mesh. The ring, which is made of a resorbent material, is of a flexibility that permits it to bend, then resume its initial shape to give the mesh a memory of its initial shape. The ring has an interruption intended to be positioned over the femoral veins.
