title: [Proposal for update of Bassini's procedure in the treatment of inguinal hernia under local anesthesia].
abstract: Inconvenience due to tension along the suture, a relative high recurrence rate, the availability of optimal prosthetic materials and the tendency to reduce hospital stay are the motivations which induced many surgeons to adopt alternative techniques instead of the traditional ones for inguinal hernia repair. Among these latter it is worthwhile to add a personal update of the Bassini's technique: the plasty tailored upon the polypropylene mesh performed in local anesthesia. Thanks to the use of the prosthetic mesh, the plasty is performed using only four stitches tied loosely without much high tension on the conjoined tendon. Such technical expedients reduced postoperative pain and give better warrant for the plasty and allow hernia repair in local anesthesia and on a daily basis.
