A hernia is the bulging of part of contents of the abdominal cavity through a weakness in the abdominal wall. Inguinal hernia repair is the most frequently performed operation in any general surgical unit. To compare the mean operating time and total duration of hospital stay between sutures and cyanoacrylate glue mesh fixation in inguinal hernia repair in a medical college setup.Methods: All patients presenting to B.L.D. E. U’s Shri B. M. Patil Medical College Hospital and Research Centre Bijapur and admitted patients in whom the diagnosis of primary inguinal hernia is considered from October 2013 to June 2015.Results: Operating time was significantly less that is 36.52 min in cyanoacrylate group and 48.32 in suture fixation group. Hospital stay in cyanoacrylate group was 4.82 days and in suture fixation group was 6.48 days. Two days is considered as preoperative work up period in both the groups as it is a medical college setup.Conclusions: Lichtenstein tension free hernioplasty is always better option if mesh fixation done with N-butyl cyanoacrylate when compared with Lichtenstein’s tension free hernia repair with standard prolene suture fixation.
