Abstract
Background: The inguinal regions are one of the natural weak areas in the abdominal wall and are the most common site of herniation. Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most frequently performed operations. Amis: The aim of this study is to compare open mesh and non-mesh suture repair of primary inguinal hernias with respect to clinical outcome which include postoperative pain, complications, time of return to work and recurrence. Matierial and methods: This prospective study of 102 cases of primary inguinal hernia repair was carried out at M.G.M. Medical College & L.S.K. Hospital, Kishanganj with the aim of comparing open mesh and non-mesh suture repair with respect to clinical outcome which included postoperative pain, complications time of return to work and recurrence. Result: In our study there were no specific criteria for allocation of the method of repair and of 102 patients 52 patients randomly underwent non-mesh repair and 50 patients underwent mesh repair. Conclusion: The use of prosthetic mesh allows tension-free repair of inguinal hernia and in theory better results. Our study proves the superiority of this method over non-mesh repair in the long term with regard to hernia recurrence; in addition, there were less complications and postoperative pain.
