The book entitled, "The Operation of Bassini" by A. Catterina made the greatest contribution to the understanding of the details and technique of the Bassini hernioplasty. The 16 colored figures are reproduced for the first time as far as can be ascertained in North America. For unknown reasons, the book was never published in North America, leaving the surgeons of North America ignorant of Bassini's intentions. Bassini's own descriptions were brief and subject to misinterpretation and his illustrations were not detailed enough. The description given by Andrews of his personal observation of Bassini operating should have, but did not, enlighten North American surgeons. The inguinal hernioplasty of the Shouldice Hospital evolved de novo but is, in fact, the modern equivalent of the Bassini procedure.
A. 卡特琳娜所著的《巴锡尼手术》一书，对理解巴锡尼疝修补术的细节和技术做出了最大贡献。据目前所知，书中的16幅彩色插图在北美首次得以重现。出于不明原因，该书从未在北美出版，导致北美外科医生对巴锡尼的手术意图一无所知。巴锡尼自己的描述简短，容易产生误解，而且他的插图也不够详细。安德鲁斯对他个人观察巴锡尼手术过程的描述本应，但实际上并没有，启发北美外科医生。绍尔代斯医院的腹股沟疝修补术是全新发展而来的，但实际上是巴锡尼手术的现代等效术式。
