An o. for the cure of hernia by effecting firm union of the walls of the canal through which the hernia passed, and then making a new canal by uniting the edges of the rectus and the internal oblique muscles and joining thereto the transversalis fascia and Poupart's ligament. The cord is covered by the external oblique, when it is sutured to Poupart's ligament. [Eduardo Bassini, Italian surgeon, living.]
