A STUDY OF MODIFIED BASSINI’S REPAIR (ANATOMICAL REPAIR) AND LICHTENSTEIN’S MESH HERNIOPLASTY
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 15
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inguinal hernia is one of the oldest maladies known and suffered by humans. Though there are many surgical techniques which are in practice, yet there is no unison as to which is the best technique- the one with least or no recurrence rate. Our hospital being in a rural area, catering to majority of poor patients, anatomical and mesh repairs are done. Aims and Objectives- This study is done to determine the post-operative complications of hernia during the hospital stay by two techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective observational study of 100 patients admitted for inguinal hernia, who met both the inclusion and exclusion criteria were subjected to detailed examination. The post-operative complications were observed, analysed and compared with other similar studies. RESULTS Of the 35 patients who underwent anatomical repair (Modified Bassini’s), there were 2 recurrences over a period of 2 years. There was no recurrence at all in 65 patients who underwent mesh repair (Lichtenstein’s mesh hernioplasty) during the same period. CONCLUSION The early post-operative complications like pain, haematoma, seroma and infection rates following either surgery are comparable. However, mesh hernioplasty is superior to Modified Bassini’s with regards to recurrence. The limitations of the study are relatively small number of patients studied and relatively short period of study and follow-up
