title: [French modification of the Bassini technic in a series of 1500 successfully treated cases of inguinal hernia in males over 25 years].
abstract: The high frequency of inguinal hernia leads to a major economic impact. Hospitalization duration and work loss time, post-operative pain, recurrences, risk of sepsis and complications directly related to prostheses are all factors which must be taken into account. We report our experience with the "French" modification of the classic Bassini technique. In our hands this technique involves: deep cure of the fascia transversalis, complete dissection of the inguinal canal, resection of the lateral oblique sac and the inner orifice of the inguinal canal, a off-loading incision in the right sheath to release tension. Recurrence rate under 1% after 10 years in type I and type II hernias according to the NYHUS classification led us to discuss the indications of prostheses which, in our opinion should be reserved for voluminous type II hernias and for bilateral or recurrent hernias.
