title: [Complications of treatment of adult's groin hernia: a report of 100 cases comparative study between Bassini and Mac Vay's technics].
abstract: The authors report a prospective study comparing pre and immediate post operative complications of non complicated hernia of the groin in adult treated by operations based on Bassini and Mac Vay technics. It concerned a total of 100 patients made up of two groups of 50 age ranging from 13 to 84 years with an average age of 47 years of whom were 93 males and 7 females. No mortality was registered. The rate of complications was 20% in Bassini's technic and 22% in Mac Vay's technic. There were: bladder injurie, accidental skin wound incurred by the electric surgical blade, meningeal irritation, urinary retention, scrotal sac hematoma, parietal suppuration, intestinal occlusion and immediate recidivation before 6 months. As well as our study as in literature, specific complications related to both technics were rare. We could draw the conlusion that there is no significant superiority of one technic in comparison with the other one.
