A comparative study of repair of inguinal hernias by Shouldice technique (ST) vis-a-vis Bassinis technique (BT) was conducted on 100 patients who presented with inguinal hernia in the OPD services of our hospital. The patients were worked up and alternatively distributed to undergo repair by ST (n=50) or BT (n=50). Repair by ST required longer operating time (Avg 95 min vs 80 min), but involved lesser hospitalization (4.0 days vs 4.5 days), lesser complication rate (2 vs 4), lesser recurrence rate (0 vs 2) and higher rate of satisfaction. The study confirms the advantages of Shouldice repair in the treatment of inguinal hernia.
