Methods: We have included 52 patients with complicated inguinal hernias presenting to the emergency department after taking informed consent and ethical committee clearance. Patients were randomly divided into two groups using computer software Group A and Group B. Group A: Consists of 26 patients and underwent Modified Bassini’s repair. Group B: Consists of 26 patients and underwent Desarda’s repair. Various intraoperative and post-operative complications were studied. The patient was followed up for a 3 years period for recurrence of an inguinal hernia. Results: Desarda’s repair had less post-operative pain score.
