Abstract
Inguinal hernias constitute the most common form of abdominal wall hernias. Inguinal hernia repair is one of the commonly performed general surgeries among both adults and children accounting for more than 95% of all groin hernia repairs. Collective Indian data are limited and in few of the Indian studies, the prevalence of inguinal hernias among males in a tertiary care setting in India ranged from 88.0‐91.0%. A cross sectional comparative study was conducted among 50 male patients admitted in surgical wards for elective Surgery who were willing to undergo an Open and laparoscopic repair with proven unilateral inguinal hernia after considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria and estimating the sample size. After obtaining the written informed consent the patients were assigned randomly for both the groups. The mean age of participants in open mesh repair group and TEP group were 45.24±10.05 years and 42.00 ±10.92 years respectively. The mean duration of surgery among the study participants in TEP (49.60±3.62mins) group was significantly higher compared to open mesh repair (45.96±4.63mins) group (t=‐3.097, P=0.003).
