title: [Bassini-Kirschner inguinal hernia surgery--follow-up of 781 primary operations in adult men].
abstract: We report on the early and late complications after hernia repair in this retrospective study. Over a period of five years, 920 adult men underwent Bassini-Kirschner repair for inguinal hernia as first operation. There occurred six hematomas (0.6%), 11 seromas (1.2%) and 10 wound infections (1.0%). There were no deaths. 781 patients were controlled after two to seven years. We found recurrence of inguinal hernia in 15 cases (1.9%), chronic inguinal pain in 29 cases (3.7%), testicular atrophy in two cases (0.2%).
