A method for surgical treatment of inguinal hernias includes the steps of providing a surgical prosthesis in the form of a laminar component having an approximately intermediate cut line forming two asymmetrical halves each having at a distal end thereof an end tab, and overlaying the asymmetrical halves of the laminar component by superimposing the end tabs of the asymmetrical halves so as to form two reinforced triangular areas aligned with anatomically weak areas of the patient and to create a central through cavity so that a spermatic cord of the patient extends through the central through cavity. The surgical prosthesis is intended to protect weak points in an abdominal wall of the patient.

1. A method for surgical treatment of inguinal hernias of a patient, comprising the steps of: providing a surgical prosthesis in the form of a laminar component comprising an approximately intermediate cut line forming two asymmetrical halves of said laminar component, each of said asymmetrical halves having at a distal end thereof an end tab;overlaying said asymmetrical halves of said laminar component by superimposing said end tabs of said asymmetrical halves so as to form two reinforced triangular areas aligned with anatomically weak areas of the patient and to create a central through cavity forming a ring adapted to encircle a spermatic cord of the patient extending through said central through cavity; andfitting the spermatic cord in the central through cavity,wherein the step of overlaying said asymmetrical halves and superimposing said end tabs creates a helical conformation establishing said two reinforced triangular areas that restrain the movements of muscles of the patient so as to permit treatment of two most common types of the inguinal hernias with a single prosthesis, andwherein each of said two symmetrical halves has a respective outer edge with a concavity extending inwards towards said approximately intermediate cut line to define a curved groove, wherein said steps of overlaying and fitting causes said curved grooves of said two symmetrical halves to face one another to form said central through cavity. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said laminar component further comprises a connecting portion above said cut line to connect said asymmetrical halves to one another. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of overlaying positions said two reinforced triangular areas on opposite sides of the spermatic cord. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein said step of overlaying comprises placing a first of said asymmetrical halves on a second of said asymmetrical halves at a first of said two reinforced triangular areas, and superimposing said second of said asymmetrical halves on said first of said asymmetrical halves at a second of said two reinforced triangular areas. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein said curved grooves are continuous curves. 6. A method for surgical treatment of inguinal hernias of a patient, comprising the steps of: treating an inguinal hernia of a patient with a surgical prosthesis in the form of a laminar component comprising a first side portion, a second side portion, and an approximately intermediate bisecting line between the first side portion and the second side portion, the first side portion having a first outer edge with a first concavity extending inward towards the approximately intermediate bisecting line to define a first curved groove, the second side portion having a second outer edge with a second concavity extending inward towards the approximately intermediate bisecting line to define a second curved groove that is opposite to the first curved groove, the first and second side portions comprising first and second distal end tabs, respectively,said treating comprising overlaying the first side portion and the second side portion with one another in a helical conformation and fitting a spermatic cord of the patient in the helical conformation so that the first and second distal end tabs are superimposed and so that the first and second curved grooves face one another to establish a through cavity about the spermatic cord extending through the through cavity, said overlaying and said fitting establishing first and second reinforced areas on opposite sides of the spermatic cord. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the laminar component further comprises a connecting portion above the approximately intermediate bisecting line to connect the first and second side portions to one another. 8. The method of claim 6, wherein said overlaying comprises placing the first side portion on the second side portion at the first reinforced area and superimposing the second distal end tab of the second side portion on the first distal end tab of the first side portion at the second reinforced area. 9. The method of claim 6, wherein the first and second concavities are each continuously curves. 10. The method of claim 6, wherein the through cavity is in the form of a ring. 11. The method of claim 6, wherein the first outer edge comprises a first convexity extending from a top edge of the laminar component to the first concavity, and wherein the second outer edge comprises a second convexity extending from the top edge of the laminar component to the second concavity. 12. The method of claim 6, wherein the first and second reinforced areas are triangular. 13. The method of claim 6, wherein the first and second reinforced areas are aligned with anatomically weak areas of the patient. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the first and second reinforced areas restrain movement of muscles of the patient so as to permit treatment of two most common types of the inguinal hernias with a single prosthesis. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the first outer edge comprises a first convexity extending from a top edge of the laminar component to the first concavity, and wherein the second outer edge comprises a second convexity extending from the top edge of the laminar component to the second concavity. 16. The method of claim 14, wherein the first and second reinforced areas are aligned with anatomically weak areas of the patient. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the first and second reinforced areas restrain movement of muscles of the patient so as to permit treatment of two most common types of the inguinal hernias with a single prosthesis. 18. A method for surgical treatment of inguinal hernias of a patient, comprising the steps of: treating an inguinal hernia of a patient with a surgical prosthesis in the form of a laminar component comprising a first side portion, a second side portion, an approximately intermediate bisecting line between the first side portion and the second side portion, and a connecting portion above the approximately intermediate bisecting line to connect the first and second side portions to one another, the first side portion having a first outer edge with a first concavity extending inward towards the approximately intermediate bisecting line to define a first curved groove, the second side portion having a second outer edge with a second concavity extending inward towards the approximately intermediate bisecting line to define a second curved groove that is opposite to the first curved groove, the first and second side portions comprising first and second distal end tabs, respectively,said treating comprising overlaying the first side portion and the second side portion with one another in a helical conformation and fitting a spermatic cord of the patient in the helical conformation so that the first and second curved grooves face one another to establish a through cavity about the spermatic cord extending through the through cavity with first and second reinforced areas on opposite sides of the spermatic cord, the first reinforced area having the first side portion overlaying the second side portion, the second reinforced area having the second distal end tab superimposed on the first distal end tab. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein the first and second concavities are each continuously curves.
