MOLINA FERNANDEZ, Eduardo; GODERICH LALAN, José M; COLLI ALONSO, Italo  e  MARQUES MENDEZ, Legna. Trabucco’s technique: first national report (September 2005). Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2007, vol.46, n.4, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2945.

A prospective study was undertaken in patients operated on of primary indirect inguinal hernia, or hernia reproduced for the first time.  Trabucco’s tension-free technique  was applied. A database with 335 patients that underwent surgery from June 2000 to June 2004 at “Comandante Manuel Fajardo” Hospital and the General Hospital of Santiago de Cuba, was created. The use of this surgical technique showed great effectiveness as regards the number of relapses (0.5 %) and complications (14 %), the postoperative comfort, and the rapid incorporation of the patients to their daily activities and to work., which presupposes a favorable cost-benefit index (an aspect that was not included among the objectives proposed). It was concluded that Trabucco’s technique is a novel and very efficient method in our setting, since it has the same advantages  of the rest of the tension-free hernioplasties.
