Abstract
Open inguinal hernia repairs can be divided into mesh-based repairs and sutured based repairs. Mesh-based repairs are the most popular open inguinal hernia repair with the Lichtenstein repair being the most common surgical procedure. The sutured based repairs are not commonly performed with the Shouldice repair being the most popular repair, but the Desarda repair is slowly emerging as a viable sutured based repair. We have conducted this review article to look the current state of the varies types of repairs for open inguinal hernia repair including their complications and recurrence rate. We also looked at the effect of chronic pain in open inguinal hernia repair.
