The invention relates to an anatomical prosthesis adapted specially for the inguinal region and intended for the repair of inguinal hernias, especially by a laparoscopic route. It comprises a first and a second plate, each comprising a porous and flexible prosthetic material, and these being connected to one another along a connection line by a connection means. The two plates are asymmetrical in relation to one another, and, in a deployed configuration of the prosthesis, the second plate has at least one undulated developed shape, and anatomical so as to match the general shape of the lower inguinal structures, and correspondingly the connection line has at least one undulated curved shape, the generatrix describing this developed shape and passing through the connection line being directed at an aperture angle .theta. at most equal to 150.degree. relative to the plane of the first plate.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An anatomical prosthesis adapted specially for the inguinal region and intended for the repair of inguinal hernias by a posterior laparoscopic or open route, the prosthesis comprising a first plate, which is substantially planar, and a second plate, the said plates each comprising a porous and flexible prosthetic material, and being connected to one another along a connection line by a connector, the two plates being asymmetrical in relation to one another, and, in the deployed configuration of the prosthesis, the second plate having at least one undulated developed and anatomical shape so as to match the general shape of the lower inguinal structures, and correspondingly the connection line having at least one undulated curved shape, the generatrix describing the said developed shape and passing through the connection line being directed at an aperture angle .theta., equal at most to 150.degree., relative to the plane of the first plate.
