title: [Recurrence rate in Bassini operation after five years].
abstract: Recently, to repair an inguinal hernia the tension-free Lichtenstein operation is preferred. The main reason, why Bassini operation is less preferred is its high recurrence rate, caused by tissue tension. We examined the recurrence rate of Bassini repair 5 years after operation. We found 9.6% recurrence rate. Besides of the tissue tension the surgeon's experience is another important factor.
