COMPARISON OF BASSINI REPAIR AND POLYPROPYLENE MESH REPAIR FOR INGUINAL HERNIA : A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY

Abstract

Purpose:The purpose of this study was to compare the complications and reccurrences rates of the Bassini repair with the tension-free polypropylene ±prolen) mesh repair for the treatment of inguinal hernias. Patients - methods:In the period of 1990-2004,969 patients underwent Bassini repair ±n=771) and mesh repair ±n=198).The two groups hernia were comparable regarding age, sex, type of hernia ±Nyhus), operation time, postoperative stay, wound complications and reccurrence after surgery. Resuts:The mean age was 52.8, ±17-70) and female to male ratio 222 to 747 in patients.There were 94, ±9.7%)Type II, 875, ±90.3%)Type III hernias according to Nyhus classification. Mean operation time was longer for Bassini repair than mesh repair. Postoperative hospital stay was not significant longer in Bassini repair than mesh repair group. The patients were discharged from hospital within 48 hours after surgery in 95% of cases.The complications were observed in 92 ±9.4%) cases and seroma, scrotal edema and wound infection were seen, frequently. In these groups the length of hospital stay was 61 days in the Bassini repair and 6.51 days in the group with mesh repair . In our series there were differences between Bassini and tension - free mesh repair in complications. 18 patients ±%2.3) in the Bassini repair group had reccurrences compared with two patients ±%1) in the mesh repair group.
