“…Wayne et al in their study on the use of the bassini repair in the treatment of inguinal hernias showed a recurrence rate of 3.7% to 4.8%, but they are much higher than the Lichtenstein repair. Another downside of this procedure is the need to avoid excessive tension over the inguinal region by not lifting heavy objects [32,33].…”

Inguinal hernias are a common clinical condition that is present to the surgical clinic and open inguinal hernias repairs are one of the most common operations that are performed by general surgeons. Open inguinal hernia repairs have evolved from tension repairs like the Bassini and darning repair to the shouldice repair. As these procedures were under tension and hence the recurrence rates were high. The Lichtenstein repair was a tension free repair that uses mesh, revolutionized hernia repair as the procedure was simple and the recurrence rates were low whether the procedure was performed by a junior or senior surgeon. The Lichtenstein repair is now the most popular repair for inguinal hernias. Variants to this include the plug and patch repair and the prolene hernia system, which uses various types of tension free mesh repairs. This chapter investigates the various open hernia techniques with emphasis on the tension free repairs which involve the use of mesh (Lichtenstein) and not the use of mesh (Desarda). The older tension repairs like the Shouldice and Bassini repairs are also reviewed.

Mesh and non-mesh repairs are effective surgical approaches in treating hernias, each demonstrating benefits in different areas. Compared to non-mesh repairs, mesh repairs probably reduce the rate of hernia recurrence, and reduce visceral or neurovascular injuries, making mesh repair a common repair approach. Mesh repairs may result in a reduced length of hospital stay and time to return to activities of daily living, but these results are uncertain due to variation in the results of the studies. Non-mesh repair is less likely to cause seroma formation and has been favoured in low-income countries due to low cost and reduced availability of mesh materials. Risk of bias in the included studies was low to moderate and generally handled well by study authors, with attention to details of allocation, blinding, attrition and reporting.
