These more or less faulty methods were substituted, in 1889, by what areproperly known as open operations, , open dissections of the canal for thepurpose of repairing the deep or inmost laj^ers of the abdominal wall. Thegeneral adoption of this principle followed the publication of Bassinis firstpaper, in which were reported several hundred cases that had been treated byhis now well-known method. It is true that he credits Macewen, of Glasgow,Scotland, with being the originator of several of his important steps. Pre\dousto both of these, Henry 0. Marcy, of Boston, :\Iass., had practised andpubhshed an open operation which contains the essential features of both theScotch and the Italian methods and includes the use, for the first time, of theburied tendon suture. European and American surgeons almost immediatelyadopted the Bassini technique or Marcys and Macewens technique, as modifiedby Bassini. Its emplojnuent became general, and it still remains the most.
