The history of inguinal herniorrhaphy.

The history of inguinal herniorrhaphy certainly presents some peculiar aspects. Until the 18th century this disease was studied with interest and found a place in the books of several important authors, but in practice it was treated by empiricists and barbers. We must recognize however that some of their surgical methods are still effective--mostly methods tending to preserve the spermatic cord. The 18th century brought forth new surgical treatments and surgeons like the Saxon Richter and Antonio Scarpa began to intervene in the matter. The latter illustrated this surgical and anatomical problem with beautifully drawn tables. In Padua, Edoardo Bassini proposed reparative plastic surgery designed to prevent relapses in the year 1884. Since then, the surgical history of inguinal herniorrhaphy has been one of long and lasting success.
