Abstract
BACKGROUND: The extent of inflammatory and oxidative stress response varies with different surgical procedures. The aim of the study was to compare the same between total extraperitoneal repair and Lichtenstein repair for inguinal hernia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Men, aged 18–60 years with an ASA score of 1, presenting with primary unilateral indirect inguinal hernia were randomized to total extraperitoneal repair (TEP) and Lichtenstein repair. Blood samples were collected an evening before surgery and postoperatively at 2, 24, and 48 h to compare the levels of highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), malondialdehyde (MDA), and neutrophil: lymphocyte ratio between the two modes of repair. RESULTS: Both modalities of repair cause a significant inflammatory response in the body (P CONCLUSION: Endoscopic repair is associated with a significantly lesser oxidative response than Lichtenstein repair based on this study (P
