One hundred years ago, Edoardo Bassini, a professor of surgery in northern Italy, pioneered the modern approach to inguinal repair. Today, the most common operation performed for hernia is one of the many modifications of the procedure he introduced. Since he reported his series from 1887 to 1894 in the Italian and German literature, and other surgeons soon claimed priority, most surgeons today are unfamiliar with the details and importance of Bassini's contribution. Therefore, his illustrious career is outlined and his papers regarding herniorrhaphy, along with previous biographies, are discussed. Pernicious and benign modifications of his operation are described, and the present status of his procedure is discussed in light of its revival as the Shouldice operation and amid the continuing criticism of its many modifications.
一百年前，意大利北部的外科教授埃多阿尔多·巴西尼开创了现代腹股沟疝修补术。如今，最常见的疝气手术是他所引入手术的众多改良术式之一。自他在1887年至1894年间将其系列病例报告发表于意大利语和德语文献后，其他外科医生很快宣称自己具有优先权，如今大多数外科医生并不熟悉巴西尼贡献的细节及其重要性。因此，本文概述了他卓越的职业生涯，并讨论了他关于疝修补术的论文以及之前的传记。文中描述了对其手术有害和良性的改良，并根据其作为肖尔代斯手术的复兴以及对其众多改良持续不断的批评，讨论了该手术目前的状况。
