The Bassini repair procedure was introduced in 1887 and was formerly the standard of repair.In this procedure the conjoined tendon and the shelving edge of the inguinal ligament are sutured together up to the internal ring.The major difference with this repair is that the superior transversalis fascia is sutured to the inguinal ligament with no attempt made to approximate it to the inferior portion of the transversalis fascia or the Cooper ligament.Critics of this procedure claim that it is not anatomically correct because layers that normally are not integrated (transversalis fascia and inguinal ligament)now are approximated.
