Background and objectives: Inguinal hernia repair is the most frequently performed operation in any
general surgical unit. Reports on the outcome of inguinal hernia surgery show that recurrence rate 5
years after operation can vary from 0.1 to over 20%. The aim of the present study is to compare
Lichtenstein’s tension free hernia repair with the Modified Bassini’s herniorraphy in terms of
immediate complications like technical difficulty, seroma formation, wound infection rate,
recurrence rate at one year and chronic pain.
Methods:100 cases admitted to BELAGAVI INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL SCIENCES
BELGAVI DISTRICT HOSPITAL from June 2021 to May 2022 with primary unilateral inguinal
hernia were randomly subjected either to Modified Bassini’s herniorraphy or Lichtenstein
hernioplasty. All the hernia repairs were performed under spinal anaesthesia. In case, of any
associated conditions like hypertension, diabetes mellitus were present, treatment was first given for
these associated conditions. A note was taken of any technical difficulty during surgery.
