“…William Stewart Halsted (1852–1922) and Edmund W. Andrews (1824–1904) modified Bassini’s repair[ 72 - 74 ]. The antiseptic concept was accelerated in the 19th century after Joseph Lister (1827–1912) introduced antisepsis[ 72 ]; additionally, Halsted was the first to use surgical gloves for aseptic technique during surgery[ 75 ]. Modified Bassini’s repair ( i.e.…”

Groin hernias include indirect inguinal, direct inguinal, femoral, obturator, and supravesical hernias. Here, we summarize historical turning points, anatomical recognition and surgical repairs. Groin hernias have a fascinating history in the fields of anatomy and surgery. The concept of tension-free repair is generally accepted among clinicians. Surgical repair with mesh is categorized as hernioplasty, while classic repair without mesh is considered herniorrhaphy. Although various surgical approaches have been developed, the surgical technique should be carefully chosen for each patient. Regarding as interesting history, crucial anatomy and important surgeries in the field of groin hernia, we here summarized them in detail, respectively. Points of debate are also reviewed; important points are shown using illustrations and schemas. We hope this systematic review is surgical guide for general surgeons including residents. Both a skillful technique and anatomical knowledge are indispensable for successful hernia surgery in the groin.

“…Repair of inguinal hernias with mesh was first reported by Usher in 1958 [9,10]. The technique has gained widespread acceptance due to its advantages, including the fact that there is no tension, there is less pain, which facilitates more rapid recovery, and the rate of recurrence is lower, as compared to other techniques.…”

Inguinal Hernia Repair via Application of Mesh in Front of and behind the Fascia Transversalis

et al. 2012

The aim of this study was to compare mesh placement in front of the fascia transversalis and behid the fascia transversalis via inguinal incision. We evaluated the results of 106 inguinal hernia cases treated with polypropylene mesh applied via the anterior approach between December 2004 and January 2010. Using the anterior approach, the mesh was placed preperitoneally behind the fascia transversalis in 51 of the patients, whereas in the other 55 patients the mesh was placed in front of the fascia transversalis. Mean duration of surgery was shorter in the patients in which the mesh was placed behind the fascia transversalis (60 min vs. 75 min) (P<0.05). In all, 8 patients (7.5%) had postoperative complications, including hematoma (n04), seroma (n02), scrotal edema (n01), and orchitis (n01). There weren't any significant differences in the complication rate between the 2 groups of patients (P > 0.05). During a mean 44-month follow-up period (range: 12-72 months), no recurrence was observed. In conclusion, there weren't any significant differences between the 2 methods of inguinal hernia repair, other than the duration of surgery.

“…McEvedy described his unilateral preperitoneal technique in 195o and this became the basis for Nyhus and Condon's (196o) popular iliopubic tract repair. However, Stoppa (quoted in Read, 1989) employed the CheatleHenry exposure in the 6o's and 7o's in his remarkably successful GPRVS repair of bilateral and recurrent groin defects. His operation has been modified recently by laparoscopists (Arregui, 1993) performing total extraperitoneal prosthetic repair (TEP).…”
