Edoardo Bassini (1844–1924) introduced a brilliant triplelayer reconstruction (internal oblique muscle and transverse and transversalis fascia secured with the filzetta stitch) of the inguinal canal for the “radical” cure of hernia very soon thereafter in 1894.2 He reported a low infection and recurrence rate. Unfortunately, Bassini’s principles of hernia repair—a triple layer repair—did not be...

Repair of inguinal hernias may be performed using either open surgery or laparoscopic techniques. Following surgery, a 6-wk waiting period is generally recommended before a pilot returns to active duty, including flight in high-performance aircraft. A shorter waiting period would be operationally useful and may be possible following either a trans-abdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) laparoscopic tec...

Inguinal hernioplasty is an ordinary operation all over the world. Many types of repair are present. Aim surgeon to improve outcome and decrease recurrence. We evaluated addition a mesh plug with usual as

The safety of combining transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) hernioplasty and cholecystectomy in one laparoscopic surgery is still for many years questionable. We report two cases describing the safety and discussing the main concerns regarding the complications. As there are only few cases discuss this kind of combination, we aim to further clarify this subject to provide the best practice for ...

Lichtenstein hernioplasty is tension-free repair for inguinal hernias anatomically with the rate of recurrent and complications related to operation less than 1%. It has been widely accepted among several developed countries such as USA, Britain, France, etc (1). The style of anesthesia of this hernioplasty has not been unified. Local anesthesia is a preferred approach in many specialist hospit...

BACKGROUND Ventral midline hernia formation following abdominal surgery in horses is an uncommon complication; however, it can have serious consequences leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Currently, mesh hernioplasty is the treatment of choice for large ventral midline hernias in horses to allow potential return to normal function. Complications following mesh hernioplasty using poly...
