Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 57
Abstract
BACKGROUND The saying goes “The history of hernia repair is the history of surgery”. The history of open surgery for groin hernia has gone through many stages of development starting from the Romans, Greeks and the Egyptians. Starting from the use of trusses, taxis for strangulation and routine excision of the genitals came the dark middle Ages, which have been described by historians as a period of surgery in eclipse and centuries of ignorance. During Renaissance, new surgical knowledge flourished and the foundation of herniology was begun. Hernia surgery saw an upstroke in late 19th century with initial description by Marcy and Bassini. The following article is a historical recollection on the various controversies, incidents and achievements in world of hernia.
